BOOLEAN FUNCTION BY LOGIC GATES
Objective:
Reproduce the following Boolean functions using basic logic gates.
a) A + A’B
b) AB + BC (B +C)
c) ((A + BC)’ + (A.B’)’)’
Software Required:
Electronic Workbench
Theory:
Boolean Algebra Expressions can be used to construct digital logic truth tables for their
respective functions. As well as a standard Boolean Expression, the input and output
information of any Logic Gate or circuit can be plotted into a standard table to give a
visual representation of the switching function of the system. The table used to represent
the Boolean expression of a logic gate function is commonly called a Truth Table. A
logic gate truth table shows each possible input combination to the gate or circuit with the
resultant output depending upon the combination of these input(s).
Experiment:
Construct the circuit as shown in Figure 6.1, 6.2 and 6.3. Apply inputs A, B, C and check
the output F then complete the truth table 6-1 to 6-3 for the given Boolean function.
a) A + A’B
