Question: Build a 4 - bit saturation adder for unsigned integers. A saturation adder performs normal 4 - bit addition when the resulting sum is less

Build a 4-bit saturation adder for unsigned integers. A saturation adder performs normal 4-bit addition when the resulting sum is less than 15. However, if the sum is greater than 15, which would normally cause an adder to overflow, the saturation adders sum output should stay at 15. The inputs of the saturation adder are two 4-bit unsigned binary integers A = a3a2a1a0 and B = b3b2b1b0 and the output is a 4-bit data output S = s3s2s1s0. First write the behavior of the adder using an if...else... statement. Then clearly draw the schematic containing the building blocks and their connections.
