Circuit Description

An 8-bit parity generator with two additional inputs to cascade the parity generator to higher bit-widths, and to select either even or odd parity via the odd input. Naturally, the circuit could also be called a 10-bit parity generator.

Click the input switches, or type the bindkeys '0', '1', ..., '7', 'o' (odd) and 'c' (carry).
