 Problem 2:
A manager wants you to design a logic circuit to automa cally lock a door
based on the me and on whether or not the recep onists are present.
Specifically: The circuit will have three inputs: - Input A is ac ve when it is a er
hours. - Input B is ac ve when recep onist Barbara is seated. - Input C is ac ve
when recep onist Chuck is seated. The circuit should produce output D, which
locks the door when ac ve. If it is a er hours, the door should be locked. If
neither recep onist is seated, the door should be locked. 1. Write a Boolean
expression for D in terms of A, B, and C. 2. Draw a mixed-logic schema c for
D, and change it to an implementa on using only NORs and inverters. You
should end up with two 2-input NOR gates and one inverter. If you don't, go
back and check your logic, or try to simplify your expression.

Enable bu on (input B). and 2 inputs D and W connected to one window and
one door. The alarm (output F) is triggered if the Panic bu on is pressed or if
Enable is on and the house is not secure (window or door open). a) Give the

its logic equa on. c) Draw the logic circuit of the system.
 Problem 6:
Design a combina onal circuit for a new brand of computers that will take a
4-bit binary number as input and output 1 if the input contains at least 2 zeros.
For example: Input 0000: output 1 (4 zeros) Input 0001: output 0 (3 zeros)
Input 0011: output 0 (2 zeros) Input 0111: output 0 (1 zero) Draw the
minimum cost AND-OR implementa on for the func on below. Input
variables are available in true and complement forms. F(A,B,C,D) =
m(1,3,6,7,11,14,15) + D(5,9,10) An electronic gate has a digital logic circuit
whose output is a 1 if the majority of the input variables are 1's. The output is
a 0 otherwise. Using a truth table, find the Boolean func on implemented by
a three-input variable majority gate. Design the electronic gate. Design a
combinatorial circuit that will be able to detect prime numbers given as input
in binary. The output of the circuit should be a single bit that will be 1 (high)
if the input is a prime number and 0 (low) if the input is not a prime number.
For example, if the input to the circuit is 0101, the output should be 1. Again,
if the input is 1010, the output should be 0. Implement the func on below
together with the don't care condi on given below using only two NOR gates.
Assume that both the normal and complement inputs are available. F(A,B,C,D)
= m(13,5,6) d(A,B,C,D) = m(8,10,14,15) Design a func on that will take a 3-bit
binary number as input and output 1 (high) if the total number of 1's in the
input is less than or equal to the total number of 0's, and 0 (low) otherwise.

 Problem: 13
A retail store has a safe in a locked closet that they use to store cash
overnight and when not needed in the registers during business
hours. You are to design the logic for a burglar alarm controller to
help protect the safe.

There are four sensor inputs for the controller, as follows: A hidden
control switch - produces logical 1 when the switch is in the on
posi on, produces logical 0 when the switch is in the off posi on; a
pressure sensor under the safe - produces logical 1 when the safe is
in its normal posi on (has not been moved), produces logical 0 when
the safe is not in its normal posi on (has been moved); a ba ery-
powered clock - produces logical 1 during normal business hours
(7:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m.), produces logical 0 outside of normal
business hours (9:01 p.m. to 6:59 a.m.); a switch on the closet door
- produces logical 1 when the closet door is closed, produces logical
0 when the closet door is open.

Design and draw the logic for the controller so that it produces a
logical 1 (signals an alarm) when at least one of the following
condi ons occur:
1. The control switch is on and the safe is moved.
2. The closet door is opened outside of normal business hours.
3. The closet door is opened and the control switch is on.
 Problem: 14
A house alarm has a sensor on the door A and a pressure pad inside
the house B. The value A=1 means the door is closed, and A=0 means
the door is open. The value B=1 means someone is on the pressure
pad, and B=0 means no one is on the pressure pad. The value C=1
means that it is day me, and C=0 means that it is nigh me.

During the day, the alarm sounds when the door is open, or if
someone is on the pressure pad, or both. At night, the alarm sounds
whenever the door is open. (1 pt for each part below, total of 4 pts
for this ques on)

a. Write a truth table that lists all possible combina ons of the input
sensor values A, B, C and the resul ng output Y that will be used to
trigger the alarm.
b. Convert this truth table into a Karnaugh map.
c. From the Karnaugh map, write a Boolean equa on for Y.
d. Draw the resul ng circuit diagram (using logic gate symbols for
AND, OR, etc. Don't worry about the wiring diagram of the actual ICs
that you would use to build this).
