IV. SCREENSHOT OF OUTPUTS
V. OBSERVATIONS

Throughout the simulation process, I observed that the K-Map Solution and truth table are very important because it

sets the output of the seven-segment display. It is because the simplified expression is dependent on the truth table and K-

Map. I also noticed that every single connection in the circuit is significant because one incorrect connection will automatically

result in incorrect output in seven – segments. I noticed the importance of the K-Map Solution because at the first trial my

desired output was not satisfied due to an error in the K-Map Solution. Lastly, it is very important to perform troubleshooting

such as the connection of the power and ground for the integrated circuits, of the seven segments is set in the common

cathode, and ensure the continuity of the circuit.

VI. CONCLUSION

Based on the simulation process in problem 1, I conclude that combinational logic circuits are instantaneous because

the output changes when the input changes. It means that the combinational logic circuit is a pure function of the present

inputs only. Therefore, the combinational logic circuit instantly changes its output once the input changes, because, by nature,

this type of circuit does not have memory, timing, or feedback loops. It is also proven in this activity that the function of

combinational logic circuits can be specified in the truth table, Boolean algebra, and logic diagram.
