Equipment’s :
• Trainer/proto board
• Wire cu1er/stripper
• Voltmeter
• Patch cords
• Integrated Circuits (ICs) represen=ng different logic gates: AND gate (IC 7408), OR gate (IC
7432), NOT gate (IC 7404), NAND gate (IC 7400), NOR gate (IC 7402), XOR gate (IC 7486).
Theory:
Logic gates are fundamental building blocks of digital circuits, responsible for performing logical
opera6ons on binary inputs to produce a binary output. They are based on Boolean algebra, which deals
with variables that can take on two values: true (1) or false (0).
2. OR Gate: The OR gate performs logical addi=on, where the output is high (1) if any input
signal is high (1).
3. NOT Gate (Inverter): The NOT gate, also known as an inverter, produces the
complement of its input signal.
4. NAND Gate: The NAND gate is a combina=on of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. It
produces the complement of the AND opera=on.
5. NOR Gate: The NOR gate is a combina=on of an OR gate followed by a NOT gate. It
produces the complement of the OR opera=on.
• Combina=on of OR and NOT gates.
• Output is high only when all inputs are low.
• Output is low if any input is high.
• Its truth table is as follows:
Input A Input B Output
0 0 1
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 0
6. XOR Gate: The XOR gate, or exclusive OR gate, produces a high output (1) only if the
number of high inputs is odd.
• Exclusive OR gate.
Logic gates are fundamental components in digital electronics, each with specific logical
func=ons. They have one or more inputs and a single output.
Procedure:
1. Prepara:on: We Placed the required ICs on the breadboard, ensuring they are seated
firmly.
2. Power Connec:on: Then we Connected Vcc (5V) to pin 14 and Ground to pin 7 of each
IC.
3. Circuit Setup: Connected inputs and outputs of the gates to switches and LEDs
according to the given pin layout of the ICs.
4. Switch On: Ac=vated the circuit and complete the truth tables by observing input and
output voltages using a voltmeter.
5. Data Collec:on: then Record input and output voltages for different switch posi=ons
to complete the truth tables.
6. Repeat: and Repeat the steps for each type of logic gate (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR,
XOR).

Results:
• Comple=on of truth tables for each logic gate, showing the rela=onship between input
and output voltages.
• Observa=on of logic gate behavior in response to different input combina=ons.
Conclusion:
• Successful verifica=on of truth tables for various logic gates using integrated circuits.
• Consolida=on of understanding regarding the behavior and opera=on of basic logic gates.
• Prac=cal applica=on of theore=cal knowledge in construc=ng and tes=ng logic circuits.
