Q 27. Design a Gray to Excess-3 code converter using NOR gates. Ans. Truth Table: Implementation using NOR gates:

Q 28. Design the circuit for one bit comparator. Ans. Single or one bit comparator truth table is as shown: The circuit diagram for single bit or one bit comparator is as shown in figure:

Q 29 Design a full adder circuit using NAND gates only Ans. Full adder circuit using NAND gates only is as shown: Q 30 Draw the circuit of a BCD adder and explain it Ans. A BCD adder adds two BCD digits and produces a BCD digit If the sum of BCD digits is less than equal to 9 then it is valid BCD form If sum is greater than 9 then 6 (six) i.e. (0110)2 is added in sum to make it valid Let us 4 bit binary adder A0 A1 A2 A3 and B0 B1 B2 B3 produces sum S0 S1 S2 S3. A combinational circuit is

there to check sum is 9 or more than 9 so that six can be added to it. For combination circuit, truthtable is as:

K-map BCD circuit diagram: We will get correct BCD sum from output of Adder-2. Which will be in BCD form. Q 31. Write note on 3 bit binary magnitude comparator. Ans. 3 bit binary magnitude comparator:

Where, A =

A2 A1 A0 having three bits and B = B2 B1 B0 also having three bits. A2 A1 A0 are compared with another three bits i.e. B2 B1 B0 Total combinations are possible. As = 64. Thus, six variable k-maps are required to solve for A > B, A = B and A < B. Q 32. Realize the circuit of a full adder in terms of two half adders from its truth table. Ans. The full adder can be designed from two half adders like this:

Let the three inputs are A, B and Cin. Two outputs are S (sum) and carry (Co). Q 33 What are Magnitude comparators Explain the design of magnitude comparators with the help of a suitable example Ans. A comparator is a logic circuit used to compare magnitude to two binary numbers or more The result will be, either bits will be equal greater or lesser

K-map Similarly, 7485 is TTL 4 bit magnitude comparator. Thee inputs can be extended to compare more than 4 bits. Q 34. Write short note on BCD display drive. Ans. BCD display drive These are used to display BCD codes. BCD to seven segment decoder accepts the BCD code and provide output to energize seven segment display devices in order to produce a decimal read out. In BCD drive each segment is made up of such material that it emits light when current is passed through it. BCD to seven segment decoder: Let us consider it for common cathode display. Truth table is as shown: Put rest of the combinations as dont care i e 10, 11, 12,13, 14 and 15 decimal are taken as X. K maps are as shown for designing:

Its circuit diagram is as shown: Figure shows the BCD to seven segment decoder for a common cathode type display. Q 35 Use a 8 x 1 MUX to implement the logic function

Ans. Now, again. Table
