OBJECTIVES
This experiment was performed with a goal of introducing the students to the lab equipment, familiarize students with the basic digital integrated circuits and logic gates, make the students learn how to use a solderless board to build digital logic circuits.
THEORY
The NOT, AND, OR gates are electric components which implements the Boolean NOT, AND, OR
function. The NOT gates have one input and one output, the AND gates have three inputs and one output, and the OR gates has two input and one output. The integrated circuits used for this experiment are 7404, 7411, 7408, 7432 all made by Texas Instruments. Inside of the 7404 there are six discrete 1-input NOT gate, in the 7411 there are three discrete 3-input AND gates, in the 7408 there are four discrete 2-input AND gates, finally in the 7432 there are four discrete 2-input OR gates. The schematic diagrams for part 1 and 2 were taken from the Lab Manual and
attached below respectively.
