Introduction:
This lab will involve the interconnection of logic gates to illustrate equivalent gate
arrangements and Boolean simplification.
Refer to the Lab 4 tutorial to create a New Project using New Project Wizard and name it Lab3.
Project Name Lab3
Top-Level Design Entity Lab3
Follow the Lab 4 tutorial on how to wire the circuit and program the DE2 board, wire the circuit
for each task, compile and program the DE2 board. Regarding Inputs/Outputs, place 3 input
pins named SW[0], SW[1] and SW[2] and output pin LEDR[0]. For each task wire the circuit
using the inputs and outputs. Compile and download the program to the DE2 board and test
the program. Pin assignments are found for the inputs and outputs on page 4 (similar to lab 5).
Task 1: Wire the logic circuits below using 2 input “NAND” gates;
Symbol Tool>>Libraries>>Primitives>>Logic>>NAND2. Then test the design and fill in the truth
tables.
According to the truth table, what are the logic functions?
Left Circuit Function: _____________________________
Right Circuit Function: _____________________________
A B Output A B Output
A 0 0 A 0 0
0 1 0 1
out out
1 0 1 0
B 1 1 B 1 1
Left Circuit:

Right Circuit:
Task 2: Design a three input logic circuit to produce and output of “1” when SW[0] = 1 or if at
least two inputs = 1. Draw the circuit below and fill in a truth table. Simplify completely and
build your circuit with 2-input “NAND” only. SW[0] corresponds to input C, SW[1] corresponds
to input B and SW[2] corresponds to input A.
Symbol Tool>>Libraries>>Primitives>Logic>>NAND2
Hint: Fill in the truth table first:
A B C Output
0 0 0
0 0 1
0 1 0
0 1 1
1 0 0
1 0 1
1 1 0
1 1 1

Task 3: Wire the following logic circuit using:
Symbol Tool>>Libraries>>Primitives>>Logic>>NOT, AND2, NOR2, AND3
Fill in the following truth table after testing:
A B C Output
0 0 0
A 0 0 1
Output 0 1 0
C
0 1 1
B
1 0 0
1 0 1
1 1 0
1 1 1
Task 4: Simplify the circuit above. Draw the circuit diagram for your circuit. Wire and test it.
See if it follows the truth table above.

From the Assignments -> Pin Planner menu, enter the following pin locations. Once these
input and output pins are given names in the previous step, they appear on the Node Name list.
To confirm this list of names, refer to the eng.utoledo.edu/~wevans website and the file: DE-2
Pin Assignments.

The additional pin assignments for the lab include:
SW[2] Input PIN_AC27
SW[1] Input PIN_AC28
SW[0] Input PIN_AB28
