Ee222 Digital Electronics Lab 2

This document summarizes an experiment on implementing Boolean functions using a breadboard and integrated circuits. The aims of the experiment are to understand Boolean functions, reading integrated circuit specifications, using a breadboard, and familiarizing with lab equipment. It introduces breadboards as useful prototyping tools for engineering students. Boolean functions simplify logic expressions. The experiment uses a 74LS00 integrated circuit containing four NAND gates to build circuits on the breadboard.

Aim:
The purpose of this experiment is to:
 Understand on how to implement Boolean functions
 Understand on how to read Integrated Circuit
Specifications
 Learn how to use the breadboard
 Also to familiarize ourselves with laboratory equipment
Introduction
The breadboard is one of the most important tool for an engineering
student. it is also known as a protoboard and is a type of solderless
electronic circuit building. Solderless as in they do not require any type
of soldering to make a circuit, this is ideal for engineering students. It
consists of holes which are used by majority of the leads by electrical
components this is done by inserting straight into the holes. The
sections where the red line is the positive part and it runs vertical
whereas the blue line indicates the negative and runs to ground and
this also travels vertically. The holes are grouped into 5 and placed
horizontally.
Boolean functions are mainly used in the Boolean algebra which
breakdowns the expression to a more simplified form. A simplified form
means that there will be a reduced number of chips and gates.
The Integrated Chip is also another important building block for
students. It is an electrical component that consists of 4 gates of the
same type. Each of the different are identified by a code, for example
for this lab the chip that will be used is 74LS00. The 74LS tells us the
technology and the last two digits represents the gate being used.
Conclusion
To conclude, we have learnt how to properly use the
Breadboard and also to fundamentally know its inner workings
and also fully incorporate any circuit diagrams onto the
breadboard without any problems. The Chip was also another
factor that was understood given time, the importance of it in
the engineering and electrical manufacturing environment was
fully learnt and some important details such as the fewer the
chips the less heat is loss and the faster the system is run were
discovered. Lastly is the Boolean functions, they play an
important role in Boolean algebra in the form of simplifying the
expression which in turn reduces the number of electrical
components being used in any circuit or system and this is a
advantageous to the manufacturing companys.
