+# threshold-saturating-adder
+
+4-bit unsigned saturating adder. Clamps to maximum value on overflow instead of wrapping around.
+
+## Circuit
+
+```
+A[3:0] ──┐
+         ├──► Sat Add ──┬──► S[3:0]    (result)
+B[3:0] ──┘              └──► saturated (overflow flag)
+```
+
+## Behavior
+
+| A + B | Result | Saturated |
+|-------|--------|-----------|
+| ≤ 15 | A + B | 0 |
+| > 15 | 15 | 1 |
+
+## Examples
+
+```
+ 7 +  5 = 12, saturated=0
+10 + 10 = 15, saturated=1 (true sum: 20)
+15 + 15 = 15, saturated=1 (true sum: 30)
+ 8 +  7 = 15, saturated=0
+ 8 +  8 = 15, saturated=1 (true sum: 16)
+```
+
+## Wrapping vs Saturating
+
+```
+Wrapping:   15 + 1 = 0  (modulo 16)
+Saturating: 15 + 1 = 15 (clamped)
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+| Component | Count | Neurons |
+|-----------|-------|---------|
+| Full Adders | 4 | 28 |
+| Saturation MUXes | 4 | 12 |
+
+**Total: 40 neurons, 124 parameters, 4 layers**
+
+## How It Works
+
+```
+1. Compute A + B with standard 4-bit adder
+2. If carry out = 1:
+   - Output 1111 (15)
+   - Set saturated = 1
+3. Else:
+   - Output sum bits
+   - Set saturated = 0
+```
+
+## Applications
+
+- **Audio DSP**: Prevents clipping distortion
+- **Image processing**: Pixel value saturation
+- **Neural networks**: Activation clamping
+- **Control systems**: Prevents actuator overshoot
+- **Fixed-point arithmetic**: Overflow protection
+
+## Usage
+
+```python
+from safetensors.torch import load_file
+
+w = load_file('model.safetensors')
+
+# All 256 test cases verified
+# Saturates 120 cases (where A+B > 15)
+```
