Experiment No. 3
NOT GATE

I. OBJECTIVES
 To examine the characteristics and operation of a TTL NOT gate.

II. EQUIPMENT AND MATERIALS:

 5V 1A DC power supply
 Breadboard
 1 pc 7404 (hex inverter)
 1 pc LED
 1 pc 150 Ω, ½ watt resistor
 Connecting wires

III. INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION:

 The NOT gate has a single input and its logic symbol is shown in Fig. 1. The output
is the complement of the input. If A is the input of the NOT gate, its output will be
NOT A or Ā. The small circle or bubble, at the output of the NOT gate is the standard
symbol representing inversion or complementation. NOT gate is commonly called
INVERTER.
