LOGIC CIRCUITS

Objective:
To be able to understand how logic circuit operates.

Materials needed:
4 – Momentary contact switch
1 – Incandescent lamp
1 – Magnetic contactor]
1 – VOM
Connecting wires

Procedure:
1. Be sure that the power is “off”.
2. Using the materials needed, connect the circuit shown.

Diagram no. 1. NOT Circuit.

3. Check the continuity of the circuit using VOM.

4. Turn “on” the power.
5. Complete the table by putting logic “0” or logic “1” depending on the output
registered by the lamp.

Note:
Input (pushbutton)
0 – unpressed
1 – pressed
Output (lamp)
0 – de-energized
1 – energized
