3.0 INTRODUCTION
In a combinational circuit, the output at any time depends only on the input
values at that time.
In the sequential circuit, the output at any time depends on the present input
values as well as the past output values.

From the truth table, it is clear that the difference output is 0 if X = Y and 1 if X
≠Y.
The Borrow output Bout is 1 whenever X < Y. If X < Y, then the subtraction is done
by borrowing 1 from next higher bit.
From the above equations, the half substractor can be implemented using an Ex-
OR gate, a NOT gate and an AND gate.
One can notice that the equation for D is the same as the sum output for a full
adder, and the borrow output Bout resembles the carry output for full adder except
that one of the inputs is complemented.

From these similarities, it is possible to convert a full adder into a full substractor
by merely complementing that input prior to its application to the inputs of gates
which form the borrow output.
