I. Objectives
1. To examine the characteristics and operation of a TTL OR gate.
2. To construct a logic circuit of an OR gate with an expanded input using 2 – input
TTL OR gates.

II. Equipment and Materials

5V 1A DC power supply

1 pc 7432 (quad 2 input OR gate)
1 pc LED
1 pc 150 Ω, ½ watt resistor
Connecting wires

III. Introductory Information

The logic operation performed by the OR gate is logic addition also known as logic OR
operation or function. The OR gate has two or more inputs and a single output. Figure 1
shows the standard logic symbol of an OR gate with two input variable A and B. The output
of this gate is express in Boolean Algebra notation as A + B. This is read as A or B.
The operation of the OR gate is such that a HIGH (1) output is produced when any of the
input is HIGH (1). The output is LOW (0) only when all the inputs are LOW (0). The OR
gate determines when a certain condition are met simultaneously. The OR gate is any or all
gate because 1 at any input gives rise to a 1 at the output. The HIGH (1) level is the prime or
the active output level for the OR gate.

AND GATE
I. Objectives
1. To examine the characteristics and operation of a TTL AND gate.
2. To construct a logic circuit of an AND gate with an expanded input using 2-input
TTL AND gates.

1 pc LED
1 pc 150 Ω, ½ watt resistor

III. Introductory Information

The basic operation of logic multiplication, commonly known as the AND operation or
function, is performed by the AND gate. This gate is composed of two or more inputs and a
single output. Fig. 1 shows the standard logic symbol for an AND gate with two input
variables, A and B. The output of this gate is expressed in Boolean Algebra notation as A.B.
This notation is read as A and B, not as A times B.
The operation of the AND gate is such that the output is HIGH (1) only when all of the
inputs are HIGH (1). If any of the inputs are LOW (0), the output is LOW (0). An AND
gate determines when certain conditions are simultaneously true. The AND gate is an all-or-
nothing gate because there must be a 1 at all of the inputs to obtain a 1 at the output. The
HIGH (1) level is the prime or the native output level for the AND gate.

2. To implement XOR function using combinations of logic gates.

1 pc LED
1 pc 150 Ω, ½ watt resistor
Connecting wires

III. Introductory Information

The normal OR operation applied to two input variables A and B results in an output
equal to 1 when either A = 1 or B = 1, or when both A = 1 and B = 1. A very useful Boolean
operation, the EXCLUSIVE OR operation, excludes the case when A = B = 1. The output of
the EXCLUSIVE OR operation is 1 when A = 1 or B = 1, but not when both inputs are equal
to 1. The EXCLUSIVE OR operation is used in digital logic systems to decide if two binary
input numbers are equal or not equal. The expression for this function is X = AB + ĀB. The
symbol for the EXCLUSIVE OR operation is + . The given equation can be rewritten as
follows
X = AB + ĀB = A + B
One method of implementing the EXCLUSIVE OR function is to use two AND gates,
two INVERTERS, and one OR gate as shown in Fig. 1. Fig. 2 shows the standard logic
symbol for a single gate which can implement this function.

III. Introductory Information

When a variable is used in an algebraic formula, it is generally assumed that the variable
may take any numerical value. Like for instance, 2A + 5B = C, we assume that A, B, and C
may range through the entire field of real numbers.
It is a different case for Boolean Algebra. The variables used in Boolean equations have a
unique characteristic; they may assume only one of two possible values. These two values
may be represented by the symbols 0 and 1.

Basic laws of Boolean Algebra:

If A = 0, then A = 1 and if A = 1, then A = 0

Logical Addition Logical Multiplication Complementation

0+0=0 0.0=0
0+1=1 0.1=0 0=1
1+0=1 1.0=0
1+1=1 1.1=1 1=0
 A list of useful relations is presented in the table below. Most of the basic rules by which
Boolean Algebra expressions may be manipulated are contained in this table.

Human interpreters translate one language into another, allowing people of different
languages to communicate with each other. In digital electronic circuits, encoders and
decoders perform a similar function. Digital circuits understand only binary numbers.
Therefore, encoders and decoders are used to convert from one number system to the other.
An encoder is a combinational network of gates that converts, or encodes, a non-binary input
into binary.

III. Introductory Information

Decoding is the process of providing a unique output for specified inputs in a logic
network. There are many types of logic circuits that perform the decoding operation.
Usually, they are categorized according to intended applications because all logic circuits, in
a way, are decoders. Some decoder circuits are used to decode an encoded signal, for
example, BCD to a required data that is used to drive a 7-segment LED display.
The basic operation of the BCD to seven-segment decoder is to convert the BCD data to a
required format needed for the display. The BCD data ranges from the binary equivalent of
zero which is also zero to nine or 1001. This four-bit BCD is decoded to produce a particular
pattern. The designation for accepted display patterns are considered industry standard and
correspond to the display shown. The ‘1’ indicates the high logic to light up a particular
display. Some drivers’ use ‘0’ or low logic level instead of a ‘1’. Fig. 1 shows the 7-segment
display. a

2. From table 1, connect the input combination of 0, 0, 0, 0 for D, C, B, A respectively.

(connect to ground for 0 and to Vcc for 1)
3. Mark which segment glow in the 7-segment display.
4. Write the decimal output equivalent of the segment.
5. Repeat procedure 1 to 4 for the next combination up to 1, 0, 0, 1.
