Digital Electronics - Tutorial #1

This document provides examples of multiple choice and short answer questions related to digital logic circuits for a tutorial. The multiple choice questions test knowledge of logic voltage levels, waveform frequencies and duty cycles, NAND gate behavior, and Boolean expressions for control circuits. The short answer questions involve reducing and redrawing Boolean expressions, writing and minimizing expressions from a truth table, and drawing a circuit from the minimized expression.

ELET1400 Tutorial #1 (Tuesday/Wednesday Feb 26 & 27, 2013)

Multiple Choice Practices:

1. In a TTL logic circuit, which of these voltages does not represents a LOGIC 0

(a) 0.2 V (b) 0.8 V (c) 0.5 V (d) 2.3 V

2. A logic circuit generates the periodic waveform of Fig. 1.2. What is its frequency and duty cycle?

Fig. 1.2

(a) 0.5MHz ; 5% (b) 0.1MHz; 20% (c) 0.1MHz; 5% (d) 10kHz; 2%

3. A three input NAND gate is driven for exactly one (1) second. The first input is a 2 kHz clock, the
second input is a 1 kHz clock and the third is logic 0 for the first 0.5 seconds then switched to logic 1 for
the remaining 0.5 seconds. If the clocks on the first and second inputs starts in phase, which of the
following best describes the output?

(a) A continuous logic 1 signal


(b) Logic 1 for the first 0.5s then a 2 kHz signal with 25% duty cycle for the next 0.5s
(c) A continuous 1 kHz signal with a 75 % duty cycle
(d) Logic 1 for the first 0.5s then a 1 kHz signal with 75% duty cycle for the next 0.5s

4. Which of the circuits in Fig. 1.6 will produce a Logic 1 for the function
X =A 3 A2 A 1 A 0 ?
5. Rise time is defined as:

(a) the time required to change from logic low to logic high
(b) the time to change from 10% to 90% of amplitude from baseline
(c) the time between pulses
(d) the time between the input signal and the output response

6. A standby generator is controlled by a circuit that allows it to be operated in either automatic or manual
mode. In the automatic mode, three conditions must be met, there must be fuel, there must be oil in the
engine and the utility supply must be off. For the manual mode, there must be fuel and the output circuit
breaker must be off. Each condition has a detector (A,B,C,D) that gives a high output if the condition is
met, represented as given below;

A monitors fuel
B monitors oil
C monitors the utility supply
D monitors the circuit breaker

Which Boolean expression describes the control circuit?


(a) A+B+C+D
(b) A(BC+D)
(c) D(AD+BC+A)
(d) AB+AC+AD+BC+BD

Short Questions:

1.
a. Reduce the following Boolean expressions to their simplest forms:
i. F=( A B)+ A B
ii. F=ABC+ A BC+ A B C
b. Redraw the following circuit using NAND gates only:

C
2. The truth table in Fig. 2.1 below represents the output states of a 4-input combinational logic circuit.
a. Write the Boolean expression from the truth table
b. Use Karnaugh Map to minimize the expression.
c. Draw the circuit to represent the minimized expression in 1.b above.
