Part A:
Experiment: Construction of a combinational circuit froma given statement.

Problem-1:

Let A, B, C & D are inputs of a logic circuit and X,Y are the outputs. Now construct a logic
circuit in your trainer board where X will be HIGH only when all the logic inputs are equal and Y
will be HIGH when B &D are unequal.

Procedure:
1. Construct the truth table.
2. Derive the output equation for X & Y and solve the equations with K-Map.
3. Draw the logic circuit diagramin your experiment sheet by using two input gates.
4. Determine the required ICs.
5. Construct the logic circuit in your trainer board.
6. Verify the results.

Part B:
Exp. Name: Study of Universal Gates (NAND and NOR)

Implementation of NOT, AND or OR by NAND.

X


Experiment:

1. Construct an X-OR and X-NOR gate in your trainer board by using NAND gates
only. Use required IC to construct the circuit.
2. Find out the equivalent NOT, OR and AND gate by using NOR gates only. Now
construct an X-OR and X-NOR gate in your trainer board by using NOR gates only.
Use required IC to construct the circuit.
3. Convert the following expressions using universal gates and implement them in the
trainer board. Compare the results with the truth table of the equations.
i) A (+) B
ii) (A (+) B) +C
iii) (AB +CD)
