Reference
Refer to the chapter “Combinational logic analysis” in the prescribed book, Digital
fundamentals, by Floyd.
Experiment
Objective:
To demonstrate how basic gates can be used to implement any logic function, and to
show how Boolean algebra and Karnaugh maps can be used to reduce logic circuits
to their minimum configuration.
Procedure:
Show how the expression below can be constructed using NAND gates only.
F = _________________________
Results of experiment
On the breadboard below, draw a wiring diagram to show how you built the circuit.
