EXPERIMENT 1: Basic Logic Gates

Objective: To study the outputs of each logic gates.

Introduction: A large number of electronic circuits in computers, control units and so on are
made up of logic gates. The objective for conducting these experiments, is to see how the
operation of Logic Gates work. Furthermore, in order to see how these different logic gates
work, they will be used in separate circuits and have their own truth tables, so that it is easier
to tell how they differ from each other, and how they would work. Logic gates have one or
more inputs with one output. They respond to various input combinations. A truth table shows
this relationship between circuit’s input combinations and its output.

Discussion:

The logic gate is representing for all digital circuits and expressed by Boolean constant which
are allowed to have only two possible value, 0 to 1. Boolean expression is for expressing the
relationship between a logic circuit’s inputs and outputs. There are three basic operations in
Boolean Algebra; AND, OR and NOT gates. AND and OR gates probably more than have at
least two inputs while NOT gate has only one input only and they are produce one input only.
Based off the “truth tables” shown in the observations, each truth table shows the output for
each gate in the circuit. As for the operation of AND gate, the output is high if both inputs A
and B are high. The Boolean expression for AND gate is X = A.B. As for the operation for OR
gate, the output will be high when input A or B is high or both are high. The Boolean expression
for OR gate is X = A+B. Meanwhile for the NOT gate, also known as an inverter. The operation
of NOT gate is that if a high level (1) input, it will produce a low level (0) output or vice versa.
The Boolean expression for NOT gate is X = A̅. The truth table was constructed for each logic
gates to analyse and verify the outputs for the circuit. Every gate has different truth table, which
shows that each basic gate works different from each other. The truth tables above indicate that
the expected results. All the results that obtained is same as in truth table.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the logic gate work on the basis of Boolean Algebra and determined by truth
table. Also using only some basic logic gates we can construct AND, OR and NOT gates using
its combination in a particular way. Each gate works in different way.
EXPERIMENT 2: NAND & NOR GATES

Objective: To analyse the output of NAND and NOR gates with truth table.

Introduction: In this experiment, the understanding of logic gates we used to perform basic
logical hardware functions. Logic gates are the basic building blocks for digital electronic
circuits thus performing logical operations on one or more logical inputs to produce a single
logical input. A truth table shows this relationship between circuit’s input combinations and its
output. NAND and NOR gates were considered as universal gates. Combinations of NAND
and NOR gates will create a logic functions represent a basic logic gates (AND, OR and NOT
gates).

NAND GATE NOR GATE

Discussion:
NAND and NOR gates are two important gates because they are considered universal gates.
The NAND gate and the NOR gate are said to be universal gates because combinations of these
gates can be used to accomplish any of the basic operations of other gates. In this experiment,
the NAND and NOR gates were used to determined the operation of these logic gates. NAND
gate is an inverted AND gate while NAND gate is an inverted of OR gate. The output for
NAND gate is high if one or the other input is high, but not both. The output for NOR gate is
low when input A or B is high or both are high. A truth table defined how they will react to all
possible input combinations. The equivalent circuit of NAND and NOR gates also were
performed to prove they are universal gates. The result that obtained matched with truth table
that been completed.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, a NAND gate is an inverted AND gate, and a NOR gate is an inverted OR gate.
The output of a two input NOR gate is low, when either one or both inputs are “High”. In
Comparison, The output of a two input NAND gate is high, when either one or both inputs are
“LOW”.

Discussion
In the experiment, all the 16 digit were shown in the seven-segment display. To
obtain the result a truth table was constructed to get the input and output of the seven-
segment display. IC 7447 was used in the experiment. We should be careful while
conducting this experiment as any mistakes in wiring this circuit will lead to short
circuit. Make sure do not connect any pin of the common anode display directly to
ground as it may cause short circuit.
Conclusion
Based on the experiment, the seven-segment LED display was tested based on
the truth table conducted. As the IC 7447 was connected to the seven-segment LED
display, the output value show the same value as the theoretical value. The objectives
of this experiment is achieved.
