Digital Electronics (2131004) : Tutorial - 1 3rd Sem EC/CE

1. If the output of gate A drives an input to gate B, how should V OHmin(A) relate to
VIHmin(B)? How should VOLmax(A) relate to VILmax(B)?
2. If IIH = 25 A, IIL = -1.2 mA, and the fan-out of the circuit is 8, what are the
minimum values of IOH and IOL?
3. If VILmax = 0.7V and the low-level noise margin is 0.5 V, what is VOLmax?
4. Two inputs A and B are inverted and applied to a NOR gate. The gate output is
connected to an inverter. Construct truth table for the inverter output for
positive logic.
5. An input A is inverted and applied to a NOR gate. The other input B is applied
directly to the gate. Construct the corresponding truth table for positive logic.
6. Construct a truth table for the circuit shown below
A
B
X
C
D

7. Show how to connect a quad NOR gate chip to realize the circuit shown below
using a single chip. This quad NOR gate chip contains four, 2-input NOR gates
A
B
X
C
D

8. Show how to connect inverters to a positive logic OR gate to convert to a

positive logic AND gate
9. The current specification on the 7408-quad, 2-input AND gate are IIHmax = 40
A, IILmax = -1.6 mA, IOH = -800 A, and IOL = 16 mA. How many similar inputs
can one 7408 gate drive?
