Design a combinational circuit with four inputs A, B, C and D and one output F. F is to be
equal to 1 when A = 1, provided that B = 0, or when B = 1, provided that either C or D is
equal to 1. Otherwise, the output is equal to 0.
Design, draw and implement the circuit using any type of logic gates with minimum number
of ICs.
• Obtain the truth table of the circuit and simplify the output function.
• List out the ICs required.
• Write down the steps of the procedure.
Tools/Equipment Requirement
Breadboard:
• A platform for building and testing the circuit without soldering.
ICs (Integrated Circuits):
• 7402 NOR Gate: Quad 2-input NOR gate IC for implementing the logic function.
Connecting Wires:
• Jumper wires to connect components on the breadboard.
Power Supply:
• A DC power supply (5V) to power the circuit.
Input Switches:
• Toggle or push-button switches for inputs A,B,C,DA, B, C, DA,B,C,D to control the
logic levels.
Output Indicator:
• LED (Light Emitting Diode): To visualize the output FFF.
• Current limiting resistor: (typically 220Ω or 330Ω) to protect the LED.
Multimeter:
•To measure voltage levels and check circuit connections if necessary.
Logic Probe (optional):
• To test the logic levels of the outputs during the circuit testing phase.
Wire Strippers:
• For stripping the ends of wires for connections
Procedure
• Identify Inputs and Outputs:
Inputs: A, B, C, D
Output: F
• Truth Table Verification:
Confirm that the truth table matches the intended logic for the given inputs and output.
• Create the Logic Diagram:
Draw the logic circuit diagram based on the Boolean expression derived from the truth table.
• Build the Circuit:
Connect the NOR gates on a breadboard according to the circuit diagram.
Use switches to control the inputs A, B, C, D.
Connect an LED to display the output F.
• Testing:
Toggle the switches to test all possible combinations of A, B, C, D.
Observe the LED output F to ensure it matches the expected behavior from the truth table.
