1. Introduction
Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital circuits. They perform logical
operations on one or more input signals to produce a single output signal. In this
laboratory session, we will explore different types of logic gates, their truth tables, and
their implementation in Tinkercad.
2. Objectives
- Understand the basic logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, XNOR).
- Learn how to construct logic circuits using Tinkercad.
- Verify the truth tables of different logic gates using simulations.
- Implement simple logic circuits to reinforce the theoretical concepts.
3. Materials Required
- Tinkercad Account (https://www.tinkercad.com)
- Virtual components: Breadboard, Logic Gates (7408, 7432, 7404, 7400, 7402, 7486,
74266), LEDs, Resistors (1kΩ), Wires, and a 5V power supply.
