EXPERIMENT 1

1. Define Logic gates?

Logic Gates are the fundamental building blocks in digital electronics. There are basically seven main
types of logic gates which are used to perform various logical operations in digital systems. By combining
different logic gates complex operations are performed and circuits like flip-flop, counters, and
processors are designed.

2. Define IC?

Integrated circuits (ICs) also called microelectric chips are used to create a device that can perform
certain electrical operations such as signal amplification which is called a transistor from the
combination of words of the transfer and resistor. Solid-state electronics is the name given to the field
of research into how to make electronic devices out of solid materials.

3. Define universal gates

NAND gate and NOR gate can be termed as universal logic gates since any arbitrary Boolean function can
be implemented using NAND gate or NOR gate alone. This makes NAND and NOR universal gates for
developing every other digital logic gates in the technological world.

4. How many no. of input variables can a NOT gate have?

A NOT Gate, also called an inverter, has only one input and one output. It is a logic gate whose output is
always the complement of its input.

5. When will the output of a NAND gate be 0?

A NAND gate is a combination of AND gate and NOT gate. It gives the output 0 only when all of its inputs
are 1. We can say that NAND gate is the opposite or inverted of AND Gate.

EXPERIMENT 2

1. Define K-map

A Karnaugh Map or K-map is one of the methods in digital design in which we can simplify complex
Boolean functions and truth tables. In engineering design, it is essential to simplify complex boolean
logic expressions.

2. Define SOP
The Sum of Product form refers to a Boolean expression where several product terms involving AND
operations are added up. In SOP format, each of those elements is a combination using AND of some
variables or their negations. All of them are combined by means of disjunction OR.

3. Define POS

POS form is the product of all the sums. The sum does not mean traditional addition, the sum here
refers to the OR operation, and the product here refers to the AND operation. Thus, in POS form, we
perform the OR of multiple variables and then perform the AND operation between them.

4. What are combinational circuits?

Combinational circuits are very well known components in digital electronics which can provide output
instantly based on the current input. Unlike sequential circuits, a combinational circuit listens for input
signal and generates output no matter what is the past input or state as it has no feedback or memory
component. It only cares about present input and state.

5. If there are four variables, how many cells the K-map will have?

If the number of inputs are 4, example A, B, C and D, so the number of cells will be 2⁴ or 16 cells in total.

6. Which code is used for the identification of cells?

Gray codes are used in Karnaugh maps to minimize errors when transitioning between adjacent cells. In
K-Map only one variable is changed between each set of two adjacent cells because of gray code.
