EXPERIMENT 1: Basic characteristics of DIGITAL LOGIC GATES (AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, XOR, XNOR) and verification of their
truth table.

OBJECTIVE:
• To study the concept of logic gates, logic IC.
• To study the basic logic gates: AND, OR, NOT
• To study the logic gates: NOR, NAND, XOR, XNOR
• To study the representation of these functions by truth tables, logic diagrams, and Boolean algebra.

APPARATUS:
• IC Type 7408 Quadruple 2-input AND gate
• IC Type 7432 Quadruple 2-input OR gate
• IC Type 7404 Hex Inverters/ NOT gate
• IC Type 7400 Quadruple 2-input NAND gate
• IC Type 7402 Quadruple 2-input NOR gate
• IC Type 7486 Quadruple 2-input XOR gate
• IC Type 74266 Quadruple 2-input XNOR gate
• Digital Electronic Trainer Kit or Breadboard
• LED, Resistors
• Power Supply Unit

THEORY:
• AND: A multi-input circuit in which the output is 1 only if all inputs are 1.
• OR: A multi-input circuit in which the output is 1 when any input is 1.
• NOT: The output is 0 when the input is 1, and the output is 1 when the input is 0.
• NAND: AND followed by INVERT.
• NOR: OR followed by INVERT.
• XOR: The output of the Exclusive – OR gate is 0 when two inputs are the same and 1 when the two inputs are different.
• XNOR: The output of the Exclusive – NOR gate is 0 when two inputs are different and 1 the two inputs are same.
