Copper Task
Sometimes when a baby is born they need to be kept in an incubator for a period of time. A
manufacturer would like to design a new baby alarm to be used in the incubator.
This alarm should only sound if it is switched on AND when the temperature becomes too cold OR the
baby starts crying.
S = alarm switch
T = temperature
C = baby crying
A = alarm
a) Draw a truth table from these conditions to show when the alarm sounds.
b) From your table produce a Boolean expression to represent the baby alarm
c) Build a logic circuit that is capable of carrying out the expression. Screen shot the final circuit.
Truth Table
Answer:
S T C A
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1
Solution:
This alarm should only sound if it is switched on AND when the temperature
becomes too cold OR the baby starts crying.
Design should be
S T C A
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1
LEGEND :
Since the temperature and crying of baby can either be one or zero, we will need to use
inverter gates for those two aspects ONLY.

Boolean Algebra
Since the design specification says the alarm switch must be on AND either the temperature
becomes too cold OR the baby starts crying, appropriate gates can easily be established from the
context of the plan.
