The scenario

A student needs to understand the top-level block structure of a 4-bit adder-subtractor for a digital design lab.

What is in this drawing

Read the decisions behind it.

01

Use XOR gates on B inputs controlled by M

02

Propagate carry between full adders

03

M doubles as carry-in for subtraction

When explaining or documenting combinatorial arithmetic circuits at the architectural level.
