(a) A) How many deterministic tests does a 2-bit adder have? B) What about an 8-bit adder? C) An n-bit adder? D) Assuming you can do 10 tests per second, how much time will A and B each take respectively? Represent and round-up your answer in the most appropriate (human read- able/understandable) time-unit (e.g., seconds, minutes, hours, days, years)
According to our guidelines, we are allowed to solve only the first question. Please post the other questions separately.
A key component of designing a digital circuit is deterministic testing, which makes sure the circuit consistently generates accurate results regardless of the input conditions. The time and resources necessary for validation can change dramatically depending on the number of deterministic tests needed for various adder sizes. We will examine the number of deterministic tests required for 2-bit and 8-bit adders in this solution, as well as a general strategy for n-bit adders. We'll also figure out how long it will take to run these tests at a pace of 10 per second.
