EE 222: Combinational circuits using discrete TTL
Integrated circuits
Under the supervision of: Dr. Y azzougui

Introduction:

Transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is a class of integrated circuits which maintain logic


states and achieve switching with the help of bipolar transistors. One of the prominent
features of transistor-transistor logic signals is the ability of the inputs of the gate rise to
the logical "1" if left unconnected. Transistor-transistor logic is one of the reasons that
integrated circuits are so widely used, as they are less expensive, more reliable and faster
than resistor-transistor logic and diode-transistor logic.

Summary:
In this lab we will be exploring the usage of Transistor-Transistor-Logic
(TTL) Integrated circuits (ICs) while building a series of circuits and solving a
series of problems that involve writing the logic and designing the digital
circuits .

Preparation:
We first start the lab by testing all 4 integrated circuits to check if they
are functioning and we notice that two out of four circuits (Not and Or gates)
are malfunctioning and we got them replaced.
Test circuit:
We recreate a test circuit given by its logic circuit and we get the
following circuit:

Figure 1: Test circuit

The test circuit is represented with the expression: 𝒀 = 𝒂𝑺 + ̅


𝑺𝒃. The outputs
completely matched the given logic circuit.
Problem solving:
Problem 01: (Majority)
The required circuit consists of 3 inputs and 1 output. The circuit should
be able to output a 1 if 2 or 3 inputs are 1’s and 0 in all other cases.

Comment: The circuit was accurate and matching the truth table and achieved
the desired outcome. However, we could have used one less logic gate by
writing the Boolean expression as: O = A(B+C) + BC. Which would have used
less wires in the circuit.

Problem 02: (Water Level Indicator)


The required circuit consists of 3 inputs and 3 outputs. The circuit should
be able to output under if the input C is triggered or no input is triggered,
medium if B and C are triggered. And over if A B and C are triggered.

Comment: The circuit was accurate and matching the truth table and achieved
the desired outcome.
Problem 03:
This problem is about designing a safety system for a boiler. The safety
system consists of 4 inputs (Active low pressure sensor, Active high
temperature sensor, Active high inlet water sensor, Active low flame sensor).
We got the conditions that trigger the safety system as:
-Excessive steam pressure exists – Or –
- Loss of inlet water while the boiler flame is lit – Or –
- Excess temperature while the boiler flame is lit
We use: -P for Pressure sensor.
-F for flame sensor
-W for inlet water sensor
-T for temperature sensor
From the above conditions we get the following logic expression:
𝑂 = 𝑃̅ + 𝑊
̅ 𝐹̅ + 𝐹̅ 𝑇

We simplify as:
O = 𝑃̅ + 𝐹̅(𝑊
̅ + 𝑇)

We construct the following logic circuit:

Figure 7: Problem 03 Circuit


Comment: We first tried constructing the circuit using a truth table and k_map
but we failed twice and the outputs didn’t match the truth table. So we
decided to create the logic expression directly from the conditions outlined in
the problem sheet. By following this method we directly got a correct circuit
that works in the exact manner described in the problem.

Conclusion:
At some point of this lab we discovered to apply the ttl incorporated
circuits by tried to clear up a set of different issues. We faced some problems
such as an ic now not running and a common sense expression no longer
matching the requirements of the problem however we ended up fixing all
problems and attaining all the outlined objectives of the lab and solving all
troubles efficiently.
