Logic Gates (Graded Classwork # 4)

The document describes three logic gate systems: 1. Two NAND gates followed by a NOR gate, equivalent to a single gate G with inputs X, Y, Z and output R. 2. A central heating control system using an AND gate and OR gate, which could be redrawn using three NAND gates. 3. A car warning light system with inputs for door, seatbelt, ignition and output for the warning light, which requires a truth table and logic gate diagram.

1. Figure 1 shows two NAND gates followed by a NOR gate.

Construct a truth table


showing the outputs of P, Q, and R.

The system is equivalent to one gate G with inputs X, Y, Z and output R. What is G?
2. Central heating control using logic gates. The boiler might need to be on if: (i) the time
switch is on AND the room thermostat is on OR; (ii) there is a frost outside.

The logic combination for this would be as in Figure 2.

The truth table shows how the output Q and the AND gate is combined with the input to
the OR gate to make the boiler work correctly. This circuit could be redrawn using three
NAND gates in place of the AND and OR gates. The reader should verify this.
3. In a car, a red warning light comes on when the ignition is switched on if the door is not
closed properly, or the seat belt is not fastened, or both door and seat belt are not properly
secured.

(a) Construct the truth table, showing the door and seat belt inputs to a logic gate
system as high (1) if each is properly secured and low (0) if not properly secured,
the ignition input as high (1) if switched on and low (0) if off, and the red warning
light, the output, as high (1) if on and low (0) if off.

(b) Then draw a suitable logic gate system for operating the red warning light.
