Experiment- 1
Logic Gate II
1-1 Object:

1. To study the truth tables of secondary logic gates

2. To implement an NOR, NAND, EX-OR, EX-NOR gates
3. To identify a mystery chip

1-2 Theory:

There are other gates such as (NANAD, NOR), that build by combining two basic
gates, its logic expression is:

The NAND gate is formed by combining (AND+NOT) gates. The truth table and
logic symbol of NAND gate are illustrated in table and figure (2-1) respectively. Also
The NAND can be with two inputs or more.

The NOR gate is formed by combining (OR+NOT) gates together, its logic
expression is:

The EX-OR gate is special type of logic addition . The truth table and logic symbol of
EX-OR gate are illustrated in table and figure (2-3) respectively. Also The EX-OR can be
with two inputs or more.

The EX-NOR gate is inversion of EX-OR gate. The truth table and logic symbol
of EX- NOR gate are illustrated in table and figure (2-4) respectively. Also The EX-OR
can be with two inputs or more.

EX-NOR or X-NOR gate is a digital logic gate, designed for arithmetic and logical
operations. Here we are going to use 7486 chip for demonstration, this chip has 4 EX-OR
gates in it. These four gate are connected internally as shown in figure 2.3. These EX-OR
gates are followed by NOT gates. These gates provides inverted output of EX-OR gate,
so with both, we will have EX-NOR gate. Here we use 7404 HEX NOT gate chip.
