Assignment
- (ungraded, do not submit) Read the above documents and look into the scavenger hunt and try some of the exercises.
- Use the NAND gate to construct a NOT gate (show diagram). This diagram will consist of one NAND gate but wired to have 1 input and one output, such that if the input is 0, output is 1, and if input is 1, output is 0. Please note that the NAND gate has the truth table:
| Input A |
Input B |
Output Q |
| 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 1 | 0 |
- The XOR gate is a gate where the output is the "XOR" (exclusive OR) operation of the inputs. Use google to find what the XOR operation is, and show its truth table. Also construct a XOR gate out of a few NAND gates (draw the diagram).
- What do you find interesting or boring (or both) about digital logic? Explain in about 100 words.
