CSC 311 - Lab#1

Purpose

Construct simple circuits that illustrate:

Parts

Part Quantity
AND gates (7408) 1
NOT gates (7404) 1
NAND gates (7400) 1
OR gates (7432) 1

Schematic information is available for the AND gate, NOT gate, OR gate, and NAND gate.

Procedure

Construct each of the circuits described below and test them with all possible inputs.

For each of the circuits, your lab report should include a general English description of the circuit and its purpose, a circuit diagram, and a truth table of inputs and outputs.  See the CSC 311 Lab Report Guidelines for more information on lab report format.

  1. Use a single NAND gate and determine that its behavior is what we would expect.
  2. Construct a NAND gate using an AND gate and a NOT gate.
  3. Construct the one-bit adder circuit we discussed in class.
