Objectives:
1. Introduction of Integrated Circuits: datasheets and pinouts
2. Operation of the digital I/O (Input/Output) and LEDs on the NI ELVIS Prototyping Board
3. Application of proper breadboard wiring and safety
Procedure:
1. Review the datasheets (posted in Canvas) for the following Integrated Circuits (ICs).
a. 7400 → Quad, 2-input NAND gates
b. 7402 → Quad, 2-input NOR gates
c. 7404 → Hex Inverters
d. 7408 → Quad, 2-input AND gates
e. 7432 → Quad, 2-input OR gates
2. Obtain 1 of each of these ICs from the bins on the side counter of the lab. Take note of how the
part numbers are labeled on top of the IC. Document the part numbers in the chart below.
SN74LS00N HD7402P HD74LS04 SN74LS08N HD74LS32P
a. Do the part numbers on your ICs match the numbers listed on the datasheets? Why are there
differences in the part numbering? i.e. SN7408 versus SN74LS08
Ans: No, the part numbers on your ICs match the numbers listed on the datasheets. Because
different companies make the same IC’s. So they changed IC’s number for other same IC’s of other
manufacturers a little bit. On the other hand, the functionality of both IC’s is the same.
b. Review pin numbering for each IC. Note that the “notch” in the chip designates orientation.
a. Write the pin out information next to each pin for a Quad, 2-input NAND gate on
the image below. Label ALL pins.
Ans: Pin 1 = A1,
Pin 2 = B1;
Pin 3 = Y1;
Pin 4 = A2;
Pin 5 = B2;
Pin 6 = Y2;
Pin 7 = GND
Pin 8 = Y3
Pin 9 = A3
Pin 10 = B3
Pin 11 = Y4
Pin 12 = A4
Pin 13 = B4
Pin 14 = VCC
b. What do the pins Vcc and GND stand for? Explain the importance of these pins.
Ans: Pin VCC stands for Voltage at common collector. For working of IC we have to provide 5 to 9 volts at
VCC pin. Pin GND stands form ground.
Ans: A0 and B0 are two inputs of the AND gate. O0 is the output of the AND gate.
4. NI ELVIS Familiarization
a. Note there are TWO power switches. One on the back to control device power, and one
on the top right to control prototyping board power.
i. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Power to the breadboard must
remain OFF while wiring circuits on the breadboard. Once ALL wiring is
done, the power may be applied
b. Refer to the image below regarding breadboard layout. The boxed holes, show how
rows/columns are connected.
c. The image below shows how ICs are placed on a breadboard. Note how the pins cross
the gap.
For example: we could now place a wire in row 1, column A, B, C, or D for a connection
with Pin 1 of the 7400 IC
d. Now we need to look further to the right of the ELVIS to analyze our Input and Output
tools:
Ans: Yes the Led 0 is light up, because I properly provide the input to the IC and I properly
provided VCC and Ground to IC.
h. Once LED 0 is on, show your circuit to the Instructor or TA and have them initial below
i. Toggle the Line 0 and Line 1 switches on the digital writer. Does LED 0 provide the
information needed to prove proper operation of a NAND gate? Explain.
Ans: when I toggle line 0 and line 1 of the NAND gate. Output LED 0 provides the same information.
Because I just changed the input of the gate but the operation remains same.
j. Continue wiring the ICs you have gathered for this lab (5 total) in a similar fashion until
you are able to light up LED0 through LED4, all at the same time. You will be utilizing
ONE logic gate from each IC (7400, 7402, 7404, 7408 and 7432). DIO lines 0 through 8
will be used for the inputs to the logic gates. Reminder: Refer to datasheets!
m. CLEAN UP YOUR WORKSTATION: Remove all wires and ICs from the ELVIS and
return to their original locations. Take extra caution to not bend pins on ICs
4. In the space below, provide a summary of any problems/difficulties that you ran across and what
kind of troubleshooting steps you took to solve those issues. If you think you didn’t have any
issues: you did, so document them below.
Ans: As we know, there are multiple gates in one IC. So sometime in IC some gates are not working
properly, so I manually have to check each gate of the IC before perform my lab experiment.
