Lab03 Fall2012
This lab continues the introduction of logic gates and the use of Truth Tables (TTs) for circuit design with the use of minimization techniques using Boolean algebra. Pre-Lab Design To be designed BEFORE coming to the lab. You need to turn your design work (TTs and circuit schematics) to the instructor at the beginning of the lab, so make a copy for yourself. Ten points will be deducted if the design is not submitted at the beginning of the lab. Design the following (independent) systems: 1. A circuit that shows the result of multiplying two 2-bit numbers (AB and CD). The result of the multiplication is shown using LEDs. For example, if AB=01 and CD=10, the result should be 10, shown as one LED on and the other one off. Use as many LEDs as needed to display the largest number. Keep the order of the LEDs logical (leftmost LED should represent msb). Use A and C as the most significant bits (msb) for each digit. Your final functions should be minimized. 2. A circuit that compares two 2-bit numbers (AB and CD). One of 2 LEDs (L1, L2) indicates when the first 2-digit number (AB) is greater than the second one (CD) (L1 on) or when the numbers are equal (L2 on). Use A and C as the most significant bits (msb) for each digit. Your final functions should be minimized. Laboratory Work It is important that you have the circuit pre-designed before coming to the lab. The wiring may be time consuming so you may also want to start the design (and wiring) before coming to the lab. Derive the functions to be implemented from your TT and decide how many and the type of gates you will need (AND, OR, NOT, etc) as well as the number of inputs that each gate requires. Based on this, you can select the proper chip (from your parts) to be wired. You may use any of the gates available. Build and test the circuit you designed and corroborate the circuit functions. There may be more than one solution that can be implemented You must check all possible input combinations. When implementing your circuit with the switches, follow the same order as in your TT. Please Note: Do not leave until the instructor checks your circuit. No late works will be accepted. If you did not finish by the end of the allotted time, you will get partial credit for any work completed. Attached the circuit schematics checked by your instructor as an Appendix in your lab report.
