BRIEF THEORY: Karnaugh maps are perhaps the most extensively used tool for simplification of
Boolean functions. It is mostly used for functions having up to six variables beyond which it becomes
very cumbersome. In an n-variable K-map there are 2ⁿ cells. Each cell corresponds to one of the
combination of n variable, since there are 2ⁿ combinations of n-variables. Gray code has been used for
the identification of cells.
Example- f(A,B,C,D)=A’BC+AB’C+ABC’+ABC (SOP)
Reduced form is BC+AC+ABand POS form is f(X,Y,Z)= Y’(X’+Y+Z’)(X+Z)

AIM: VERIFICATION OF STATE TABLES OF RS, JK, T AND D FLIP-FLOPS USING NAND &
NOR GATES
APPARATUS REQUIRED: IC’ S 7400, 7402 Digital Trainer & Connecting leads.
BRIEF THEORY:
RS FLIP-FLOP: There are two inputs to the flip-flop defined as R and S. When I/Ps R = 0
and S = 0 then O/P remains unchanged. When I/Ps R = 0 and S = 1 the flip-flop is switches to
the stable state where O/P is 1 i.e. SET. The I/P condition is R = 1 and S = 0 the flip-flop is
switched to the stable state where O/P is 0 i.e. RESET. The I/P condition is R = 1 and S = 1 the
flip-flop is switched to the stable state where O/P is forbidden.
JK FLIP-FLOP: For purpose of counting, the JK flip-flop is the ideal element to use. The
variable J and K are called control I/Ps because they determine what the flip- flop does
when a positive edge arrives. When J and K are both 0s, both AND gates are disabled and Q
retains its last value.
• D FLIP –FLOP: This kind of flip flop prevents the value of D from reaching the Q
output until a clock pulse occur. When the clock is low, both AND gates are disabled D can
change value without affecting the value of Q. On the other hand, when the clock is high, both
AND gates are enabled. In this case, Q is forced to equal the value of D. When the clock again
goes low, Q retains or stores the last value of D. a D flip flop is a bistable circuit whose D input is
transferred to the output after a clock pulse is received.
• T FLIP-FLOP: The T or "toggle" flip-flop changes its output on each clock edge,
giving an output which is half the frequency of the signal to the T input. It is useful for
constructing binary counters, frequency dividers, and general binary addition devices. It can be
made from a J-K flip-flop by tying both of its inputs high.

BRIEF THEORY:
DECODER:_A decoder is a device which does the reverse of an encoder, undoing the encoding so
that the original information can be retrieved. The same method used to encode is usually just reversed
in order to decode. In digital electronics, a decoder can take the form of a multiple-input, multiple-
output logic circuit that converts coded inputs into coded outputs, where the input and output codes are
different. e.g. n-to-2n, binary-coded decimal decoders. Enable inputs must be on for the decoder to
function, otherwise its outputs assume a single "disabled" output code word. In case of decoding all
combinations of three bits eight (23=8) decoding gates are required. This type of decoder is called 3-8
decoder because 3 inputs and 8 outputs . For any input combination decoder outputs are 1 .
For an 8-to-3 binary encoder with inputs I0-I7 the logic expressions of the outputs Y0-Y2 are:
Y0 = I1 + I3 + I5 + I7
Y1= I2 + I3 + I6 + I7
Y2 = I4 + I5 + I6 +I7
DEMULTIPLEXER: Demultiplexer means generally one into many. A demultiplexer is a logic
circuit with one input and many output. By applying control signals, We can steer the input signal to
one of the output lines. The ckt. has one input signal, m control signal and n output signals. Where 2n
= m. It functions as an electronic switch to route an incoming data signal to one of several outputs.

BRIEF THEORY - Register in which data are entered or/and taken out in serial form are referred to
as shift register, since bits are shifted in the FLIP_FLOPS with the occurrence of clock pulses either in
the right direction or in the left direction. In the bi-directional shift register, data can be shifted from
left to right as in the reverse direction, using the mode control. Shift Register are capable of storing
and shifting the data. They are classified as-
A 5-bit shift register using 5 master-slave S-R(or J-K) FLIP-FLOP. This ckt can be used in any of
four modes. The operation is explained by assuming the 5-bit data 10110.
Registers in which data are entered or /and taken out in a serial form are reffered to as Shift
register since bits are shifted in the Flip-Flop with the occurrence of clock pluses either in right
direction or in the left direction.
Data can be shifted from left to right as well as in the reverse direction using the mode control.
A register is referred to as Universal register if it can be operated in all the four possible modes and
also as a bidirectional register.

BRIEF THEORY: We are familiar with ALU, which performs all arithmetic and logic operation
but ALU doesn’t perform/ process decimal no’s. They process binary no’s.
Half Adder: It is a logic circuit that adds two bits. It produces the O/P, sum & carry.The Boolean
equation for sum & carry are
SUM = A + B
CARRY = A. B
Therefore, sum produces 1 when A&B are different and carry is 1when A&B are
1. Application of Half adder is limited.
Full Adder: It is a logic circuit that can add three bits. It produces two O/P sum & carry. The Boolean
Equation for sum & carry are
SUM = A + B + C
CARRY = A.B + (A+B) C
Therefore, sum produces one when I/P is containing odd no’s of one & carry is one when there are
two or more one in I/P.

AN EXAMPLE
BRIEF THEORY: Here is a simple circuit for (T1 and T2) and two timer 555 ICs (IC1
and IC2). Both IC1 and IC2 are wired in astable multivibrator mode. Timer IC1 produces low
frequency, while timer IC2 produces high frequency. As a result, a beeping tone is generated
when the liquid tank is full. Initially, when the tank is empty,transistor T1 does not conduct.
Consequently, transistor T2 conducts and pin 4 of IC1 is low. This low voltage disables IC1 and it
does not oscillate.The low output of IC1 disables IC2 and it does not oscillate. As a result, no
sound is heard from the speaker.But when the tank gets filled up,transistor T1 conducts.
Consequently,transistor T2 is cut off and pin 4 of IC1 becomes high. This high voltage enables IC1
and it oscillates to produce low frequencies at pin 3. This low-frequency output enables IC2 and it
also oscillates to produce high frequencies. As a result, sound is produced from the speaker. Using
preset VR1 you can control the volume of the sound from the speaker.The circuit can be powered
from a 9V battery or from mains by using a 9V power adaptor
CIRCUIT DIAGRAM:
PROCEDURE: Assemble the circuit on a general purpose PCB and enclose in a suitable cabinet.
Install two water-level probes using metal strips such that one touches the bottom of the tank and
the other touches the maximum level of the water in the tank. Interconnect the sensor and the
circuit using a flexible wire.
PRECAUTIONS:
1) Make the connections according to the Circuit diagram using soldering iron
2) The connections should be tight.
3) The Vcc and ground should be applied carefully at the specified pin only
