Experiment No.: 01
Experiment Name: Study of logic gates and verification of their truth tables

OBJECTIVES:
1. To study the basic logic functions AND, OR, INVERTER (NOT), NAND and NOR.
2. To study the representation of these functions by truth tables, logic diagrams and
Boolean algebra.

REQUIRED ICs:
1) 2 input AND gate (7408)
2) 2 input OR gate (7432)
3) NOT gate (7404)
4) 2 input NAND gate (7400)
5) 3 input NAND gate (7410)
6) 2 input NOR gate (7402)

EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURE:
Make all circuit arrangements as given below and complete the truth tables. For each part of
the experiment apply the indicated voltage. Use LED to see the output change for different
input combinations.

REPORT:
1. For each of the logic gate experimented above, draw the circuit diagram and show the
measured truth table of your circuit. In the case of truth tables, use 1 and 0, defining
logic 1 as a voltage greater than 2.5 V and logic 0 as a voltage less than 1.0 V.
2. Express the Boolean equations between inputs and outputs for each logic gate. Use
letter inputs and outputs where they are used.
3. Answer all the questions given in the sheet.
4. Discussion.
