The document discusses four combinational logic circuits: 1) A burglar alarm circuit that sounds a buzzer when light shines on a light dependent resistor. 2) An automatic night light circuit that turns on an LED when it gets dark. 3) A 2-bit decoder circuit that outputs a high signal on a different line for each input combination. 4) A 2-bit encoder circuit that outputs a unique binary code for each input combination.

● The light-dependent resistor (LDR)
and the adjacent resistor act as a
potential divider. In the dark the
resistance of the LDR is high and both
inputs to the NAND gate are high and

● When light shines on the LDR its
resistance drops and that input to the
0V 0V NAND gate becomes low. The result is
