In a full subtractor circuit, the most commonly used ICs are the
74LS83 or
74LS283. These are 4-bit binary full adder ICs, but can be adapted for subtraction with proper handling of borrow and input values.
However, if you're looking for a specialized IC for subtraction, there isn't a dedicated "full subtractor" IC as such. Instead, digital circuits like
XOR gates,
AND gates, and
OR gates (often found in basic logic ICs like 7400 series) are typically used to design a full subtractor.
A full subtractor has three inputs: two bits to subtract and a borrow-in (from the previous stage), and it provides two outputs: the difference and the borrow-out.
To summarize:
- Logic gates ICs (e.g., 7400 series) for XOR, AND, OR gates are commonly used to construct a full subtractor.
- 74LS83 or 74LS283 (4-bit binary adder ICs) can be adapted for subtraction.
