Abstract
An improved full subtracter is disclosed which receives a minuend signal A having a weight of +1, a subtrahend signal B having a weight of -1 and a borrow input signal Xi having a weight of -1 and provides a difference output: signal D having a weight of +1 and a borrow output signal Xo having a weight of -2. The full subtracter is composed of CMOS transistors such that both the signal D delay time and the signal Xo delay time are decreased by reducing the number of logic gate stages.
