9. Convert the circuit of Figure 8a to one using only NOR gates. Then write the output expression
for the new circuit, simplify it using DeMorgan’s theorems, and compare it with the expression
for the original circuit
10. The circuit of Figure 8b is supposed to be a simple digital combination lock whose output will
generate an active-LOW signal for only one combination of inputs.
a. Modify the circuit diagram so that it represents more effectively the circuit operation.
b. Use the new circuit diagram to determine the input combination that will activate the
output.
11. For each of the following expressions, construct the corresponding logic circuit, using AND and
OR gates and INVERTERs
c. 𝑥 = 𝐴𝐵(𝐶 + 𝐷)
d. 𝑦 = (𝑀 + 𝑁 + 𝑃𝑄)
e. 𝑧 = 𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶𝐷𝐸 + 𝐵𝐶𝐷
12. Implement y = ABCD using only two-input NAND gates.
13. Simplify the following expression using Boolean algebra
a. 𝑥 = 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶
b. 𝑦 = (𝐶 + 𝐷) + 𝐴 𝐶 𝐷 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 + 𝐴 𝐵 𝐶 𝐷 + 𝐴 𝐶 𝐷
c. 𝑧 = (𝐵 + 𝐶)(𝐵 + 𝐶) + 𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶
14. Design the logic circuit corresponding to the truth table and then implement the circuit using all
NAND gates.
