Experiment 08: Logic Gates Using BJT Transistors
OBJECTIVE:
To study and verify the functionality of a logic gates using BJT transistors.
Introduction:
The use of transistors for the construction of logic gates depends upon their utility as
fast switches. When the base-emitter diode is turned on enough to be driven into saturation, the
collector voltage with respect to the emitter may be near zero and can be used to construct gates
for the TTL logic family.
For the AND logic, the transistors are in series and both transistors must be in the conducting
state to drive the output high.
Transistor OR Gate
For the OR logic, the transistors are in parallel and the output is driven high if either of the
transistors is conducting.
Transistor NOR Gate
For the NOR logic, the transistors are in parallel with the output above them so that if either or
both of the inputs are high, the output is driven low.
