Combinational Logic Circuits

Uploaded by

Christian Allan Lumakin
The document summarizes a laboratory activity on combinational logic circuits. The objective is to demonstrate and simulate the functions of combinational logic circuits using IC gates. The activity involves constructing circuits using OR, AND and other gates. The inputs and outputs are tested and the truth tables are created from which the equations are derived. Combinational logic allows for 8 possible output combinations from a 3-input variable circuit due to there being 2^3 or 8 possibilities. The conclusion is that combination circuits can be tricky but are interesting, and that OR gates tend to result in more '1' than '0' outputs.

EEE 180.1 LABORATORY ACTIVITY


ACTIVITY 4: COMBINATIONAL LOGIC CIRCUITS

Objective:
To demonstrate and simulate the functions of combinational logic circuits.

Materials Needed:

1 unit 5V Power Supply Breadboard


1 pc 74LS04 IC Hook-up Wires (AWG #22)
1 pc 74LS08 IC 4 pcs 2kΩ ¼-watt Resistors
1 pc 74LS32 IC 4 pcs LEDs

Introduction:

This experiment is the combination of all the basic gates by means of mathematical
equation using Boolean algebra. Boolean algebra was developed more than a century
ago by a certain mathematician named George Boole. Before, it was not originally
intended for digital electronics. However, it was discovered that it would help in the
engineering field because it provides a system of logic and reasoning using yes or no and
true or false statement suitable for representing digital switching circuits.

Procedures:
1. Construct the given circuit shown below carefully. Always connect the power supply of
each IC.

Figure 7-1. An example of a combinational logic circuit.

1. Vary the input D0, D1, and D2 and record the output L1 to the given table below.

INPUT OUTPUT
D0 D1 D2 L1
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1

3. Based from the above table, what did you observe from the result data?
Based from the above table, I have observed from the result data that in the output, there is only two
logic ‘0’ and the majority of the output is logic ‘1’.

4. What is the equation of the truth table shown above?

L1=

(D ¿ ¿ 0 D1 + D 0 ' D 1 ')+(D ¿ ¿ 0 D2 + D0 ' D 2 )¿¿

Why?
Because D0, D1, and D2 is the input, then if it is inverted then we add the ‘prime’, and the AND gate uses multiplication, and
the OR gate is to add. So if we combined them all, that would be the result.

5. Construct another circuit carefully as shown in Figure 7-2. Again, remember to connect
the power of each IC.

6. Set the data switches to logic LO (0) position. What is the display of the LED indicators?
If the data switches to logic ‘0’ then the display of the LED indicates that the L1 and L2 is off but the L3 and L4
is on.

7. Vary the input D0, D1 and D2 and record the output L1, L2, L3, and L4 to the given table
below.

INPUT OUTPUT
D0 D1 D2 L1 L2 L3 L4
0 0 0 0 0 1 1
0 0 1 1 1 0 1
0 1 0 0 0 1 1
0 1 1 1 1 1 1
1 0 0 1 0 1 1
1 0 1 1 1 0 0
1 1 0 0 0 1 1
1 1 1 0 1 1 0

What are the equations of the output L1, L2, L3, and L4 based on the truth table?

L1= D 0 D1' + D0 ' D2

L2= D0 D2+ D0 ' D2

L3= D 1 + D2 '

L4= D0 '+ D2 '

9. In a 3-input variable, how many possible output combinations?


In a 3-input variable, there are eight possible output combinations which are 000, 001, 010, 011, 100, 101, 110, and 111.

Why?

Because it is 2 to the power of n, the n depends on how many inputs are there, so if there are 3 inputs then 23 is
equal to 8.

Conclusion:

- In conclusion, I have learned that combinations of the circuits are tricky but fun at the
same time. Also, as I have seen, in the combination circuit, most of the output is logic ‘1’ and less
logic ‘0’, this is due to the OR gate in which it will have a logic ‘0’ output of both of the inputs are
also logic ‘0’.
