Trainer Board
1 x IC 4073 Triple 3-input AND gates
2 x IC 4075 Triple 3-input OR gates
1 x IC 7404 Hex Inverters (NOT gates)
D. Procedure
1. Write down all the min terms and max terms of three inputs 𝐴𝐵𝐶 in Table F.1.
2. Write down the function 𝐹 in 1st and 2nd Canonical Forms in in Table F.2
3. Draw the circuits for the 1st and 2nd canonical forms of function in Figure F.1, clearly indicating the pin
numbers corresponding to the relevant ICs.
4. Construct the 1st canonical form of the circuit and test it with the truth table.
i. Connect one min term at a time and check its output.
ii. Once all min terms have been connected and verified, OR the min terms for the function output.
5. Construct the 2nd canonical form of the circuit and test it with the truth table.
i. Connect one max term at a time and check its output.
ii. Once all max terms have been connected and verified, AND the max terms for the function output.
E. Report
1. Draw the IC diagram for the 1st canonical form of the circuit in Figure F.1
2. Simulate the circuit for the 2nd canonical form in Figure F.1 in Logisim. Provide a screenshot of the
Logisim circuit schematic and truth table with your report.
