INTRODUCTION

Logic Gates: A gate is a digital circuit that follows curtain logical relationship between the input and output voltages. Therefore, they are generally known as logic gates — gates because they control the flow of information. The five common logic gates used are NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR. Each logic gate is indicated by a symbol and its function is defined by a truth table that shows all the possible input logic level combinations with their respective output logic levels. Truth tables help understand the behavior of logic gates.

(i)

NOT gate (Inverter)

This is the most basic gate, with one input and one output. Produces a ‘1’ output if the input is ‘0’ and vice-versa. That is, it produces an inverted version of the input at its output.

(ii) OR Gate An OR gate has two or more inputs with one output. The output Y is 1 when either input A or input B or both are 1s, that is, if any of the input is high, the output is high.

(iii) AND Gate An AND gate has two or more inputs and one output. The output Y of AND gate is 1 ,only when input A and input B are both 1. It kind of looks for the minimum of the two signals.

The OR gate is an electronic circuit that gives a high output (1) if one or more of its inputs are high. A plus (+) is used to show the OR operation. CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:

DESIGN OF AND GATE

COMPONENTS: Two p-n junction diode, A LED, A

100 resistors CONSTRUCTION: An AND gate can be realized

by connecting the diodes as shown in the figure. A resistance of 100 is connected in series with the LED to prevent its malfunction. PROJECT BOARD CIRCUIT: GROUND

DESIGN OF OR GATE

COMPONENTS: Two p-n junction diode, A LED, A

100 resistors CONSTRUCTION: An OR gate can be realized by connecting the diodes as shown in the figure. Here also there is a need for a 100 resistor in series with LED

PROJECT BOARD CIRCUIT:

DESIGN OF NOT GATE COMPONENTS: A transistor, two LEDs, three 560

resistors. CONSTRUCTION: not gate circuit can be realized by connecting an NPN transistor as shown in the figure. The base of the transistor is connected to the input through resistance of 560 and emitter is connected to the negative

terminal. The collector is connected to the positive terminal and the output voltage at collector is with respect to negative. PROJECT BOARD CIRCUIT: 1 2 3 Ground High line 1=2=3=600

Logic gate combination for given truth table 

1. Write product term for each input (minterm), Combination where Boolean function has output 2. While writing minterms, complement the variable whose value is 0 otherwise write it in the direct form (without complement). 3. Add all the minterms to obtain the Boolean function. 3. Draw the circuit using basic LOGIC Gates.

So we, choose the given Truth Table. A

The Boolean Function F(x,y) is obtained as: F(x,y)= X’.Y’+X.Y’+X’Y = Y’+X’Y



= (X’+Y’)(Y+Y’)



= X’+Y’



= (XY)’



So, our expression reduces to that of a NAND Gate logic (Not of AND).

LOGIC CIRCUIT IS: F=(x.y)’

OBSERVATION S

Stimulation of AND gate The following conclusions can be easily drawn from the working of electrical circuit:

a) If both switches are open (A=0, B=0) then LED will not glow, hence Y=0. b) If Switch one switch is open and the other is closed (A=1, B=0 or A=0, B=1) then LED will not glow, hence Y=0. c) If switch A & B both closed (A=1, B=1) then LED wi ll glow, Hence Y=1.

2.

Stimulation of OR gate The following conclusions can be easily drawn from the working of electrical circuit: a) If both switches are open (A=0, B=0) then LED will not glow, hence Y=0. b) If Switch one switch is open and the other is closed (A=1, B=0 or A=0, B=1) then LED will glow, hence Y=0. c) If switch A & B both closed (A=1, B=1) then LED wi ll glow, Hence Y=1.

3.

Stimulation of NOT gate a) If switch A is open (i.e. A=0), the LED will glow, hence Y=1.

b) If Switch A is closed (i.e. A=1), the LED will not glow, hence Y=0.

4.

Stimulation of NAND gate a) If Switch A & B open (A=0, B=0) then LED will glow, hence Y=1. b) If Switch A open B closed then (A=0, B=1) LED will glow, hence Y=1. c) If switch A closed B open then (A=1, B=0) LED will glow, hence Y=1. d) If switch A & B are closed then (A=1, B=1) LED will not glow, hence Y=0
