UTTARA UNIVERSITY
Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (EEE)
Course Code: EEE 208
Course Title: Digital Electronics Lab
Experiment No-01
Experiment Name: Verify the Truth Table for Basic gates and others Logic gates.
Learning Outcomes:
After the successful completion of this seasonal course, students will be able to
1. Identify logic gate ICs
2. Assess the function of each IC
Theory:
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic gates have two inputs and
one output. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions low (0V) and
high (5V), represented by different voltage levels. The logic state of a terminal changes as the circuit
processes data. In most logic gates, the low state is approximately zero volts (0V), while the high
state is approximately five volts positive (+5 V).
Apparatus:
1. Trainer Board
2. IC 7400,7402,7404,7408,7432,7486
3. Microprocessor Data handbook
Procedure:
1. Take any of the ICs. From microprocessor data handbook find the name of the IC, total number
of pins that it has, Vcc pin and ground pin.
2. Now, create a table for different input values and their corresponding outputs for the gates in the
IC.
3. Verify the observed output with the desired output.
