1. Experiment Goal:
Perform a quick experiment to become familiar with the IDL-800. The goal is to prototype and
verify that a TTL IC for a Boolean NAND yields the correct truth table gate.

2. Changes:
No changes were necessary.

3. Answers:
to all questions in the laboratory procedure sheets. Answers should be stated clearly and
illustrated by expressions, tables, or diagrams as required.

4. Diagrams: _____
Boolean equation: Y= A • B

Truth Table: A B | Y
0 0 | 1
0 1 | 1
1 0 | 1
1 1 | 0

Logic diagram:

IC Circuit design wiring diagram:

Switch 1 (A) 1 14 Vcc (+5V.)

2 13 connection
Switch 2 (B)
LED (Y.) 3 12
connection 4 11
5 10
6 9
Ground (0V.)
connection 7 8

5. Statements of Results:
I was able to successfully wire the breadboard and run tests for the SN74LS00 Quad gate
NAND IC. I then tested the four possible results by watching the LED display as I entered each set of
test values on the data switches. There were no problems with the hardware.
6. Discussion of Results:
I was able to verify that the truth table obtained in test of my logic circuit showed below agreed
with the predicted NAND truth table described in section 4 above.

Truth Table Test: Sw1 Sw2 |_Led1

Gnd Gnd | On
Gnd Vcc | On
Vcc Gnd | On
Vcc Vcc | Off

7. Summary and Conclusions:

I was able to create an actual working circuit that operated as expected from the Boolean
equation for a NAND operator. This was my first hands on experience with mapping 0V and +5V to
the Boolean values of 0 and 1, true and false.
