The 74LS series of integrated circuits (ICs) was one of the most popular logic families of transistor-transistor logic (TTL) logic chips. 74LS series is a bipolar, low-power Schottky IC. 74LS283 full adders perform the addition of two 4-bit binary words. The sum (2) outputs are provided for each bit and the resultant carry (C4) is obtained from the fourth bit.

74LS283 Features
- Full Added Performs Addition of Two 4-bit Binary Numbers
- Full Carry Look Ahead across the 4-bits
- Fast Add Times
- Operating Temperature up to 70°C
- Standard TTL Switching Voltages
