 Some information is intrinsically digital, so it is natural to process and manipulate it
using purely digital techniques. Examples are numbers and words.
 The explosion in digital techniques and technology has been made possible by the
incredible increase in the density of digital circuitry, its robust performance, its relatively
low cost, and its speed.
 This circuitry is based upon the transistor, which can be operated as a switch with two
states. Hence, the digital information is intrinsically binary. So in practice, the terms
digital and binary are used interchangeably.
BINARY LOGIC STATES:
 The following table attempts to make correspondences between conventions for defining
binary logic states.
 In the case of the TTL logic gates we will be using in the lab, the Low voltage state is
roughly 0-1 Volt and the High state is roughly 2:5-5 Volts.

The convention for naming these states is illustrated in Fig. 1. The “positive true" case is
illustrated. The labeled voltage is High (Low) when the label’s stated function is True (False). In
the figure, the stated function is certainly true (switch open), and this does correspond to a high
voltage at the labeled point.

LOGIC SIGNAL VOLTAGE LEVELS:
 TTL gates operate on a nominal power supply voltage of 5V, +/- 2.5V. Ideally a TTL
“high” signal would be 5V exactly and TTL “low” signal 0.0V exactly.
 However real TTL gates cannot output such perfect voltage levels and are designed to
accept “high” and “low” signals deviating substantially from these ideal values.
 “Acceptable” input signal voltages ranges from 0 to 0.8 volts for “low” logic state and 2
to 5 Volts for “high” logic state.

 TTL AND CMOS CHARACTERISTICS

DIGITAL IC LAB | Karthik.S

AIM:
To study the characteristics of TTL & CMOS ICs and to verify the truth table of basic gates
using IC74xx and ICCD40xx.
COMPONENTS REQUIRED:
1. Basic gate TTL & CMOS ICs
2. Bred board
3. Wires
4. LEDs
5. Power supply
THEORY:
LOGIC GATES:
In digital electronics, a gate is a logic circuit with one output and one or more inputs. Logic gates
are available as integrated circuits (ICs).
AND GATE:
The AND gate performs logical multiplication, more commonly known as AND function.
The AND gate output will be in high state when all the inputs are in high state. 7408 is a
digital IC in TTL family which contains four AND gates. For this reason, it is called quad two
input AND gate. Every AND gate has two inputs in this dual-in-line package (DIP). Pin 14 is the
supply pin. For TTL devices to work properly, the supply voltage level must be between +4.75 V
and +5.25 V. This is why +5 V is the nominal supply voltage specified for all TTL devices. Pin 7
is a common ground for the chip. The other pins are for inputs and outputs.
OR GATE:
It performs logical addition. Its output will become high if any of the inputs is in logic
high. 7432 is a quad two input OR gate.

NOT GATE:
It performs a basic logic function called inversion or complementation. The purpose of
the inverter is to change one logic level to opposite level. IC 7404 is a hex inverter (means six
inverters in the DIP).
NAND GATE:

7
 A NOT gate following an AND gate is called NOT-AND or NAND gate. Its output will

be low if all the inputs are in high state. 7400 IC is a quad two input NAND gate.
NOR GATE:
A NOT gate following an OR gate is called NOT-OR or NOR gate. Its output will be
low if all the inputs are in high state. 7402 IC is a quad two input NOR gate.
EXOR GATE:
Its output will be high if and only if one input is in high state.7486 is a quad two input
EXOR gate.

PROCEDURE:

 Test all the components and IC packages using a digital IC tester. Also assure whether

the connecting wires are in good condition by checking for the continuity using a

Multimeter or a trainer kit.

 Continuity of wires can be tested using a trainer kit by shorting a 5 V supply in the trainer

to an LED of the panel. If wires are good, LED will glow.

 Verify the dual-in-line package (DIP) pin out of the IC before feeding the inputs.

 Set up the logic circuit as per the diagram.

 Supply the necessary input combinations as per the truth table.

 Connect the LED at the output terminal of the corresponding IC and check the output.

 If the output matches with the truth table, make observations and stop, else analyze the

bug and repeat the steps.

 Measure the High and Low values of TTL & CMOS ICs with multimeter and record the

same.

DESIGN OF HALF ADDER AND FULL ADDER
AIM:
To realize half adder and full adder using xor gate and basic gates.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED:

1. Basic gate TTL ICs (IC 7486, IC 7432, IC 7408, IC 7400

2. Bred board
3. Wires
4. LEDs
5. Power supply
THEORY:
Half Adder: A half adder is a combinational circuit that performs the sum of two binary digits
(A, B) to give a maximum of two binary outputs namely the sum(S) and the carry(C). Carry is
the higher order bit and the sum is the lower order bit of the output. The Boolean expression for
the sum(S) and carry(C) of half adder is,
S=A⊕B C= AB
Full Adder: A full adder is a combinational circuit that performs the sum of three binary
digits(A, B, Cin) to give a maximum of two binary outputs namely the sum(S) and the carry- out
(Cout).The full adder becomes necessary when a carry input must be added to the two binary
digits to obtain the correct sum. A half adder has no input for carries from previous circuits. The
Boolean expression for the sum (S) and carry-out (Cout) of full adder is,
S = A ⊕ B ⊕ Cin Cout = AB + ACin + BCin
PROCEDURE:
 Verify the gates
 Make the connections as per the circuit diagram.
 Switch on VCC and apply various combinations of inputs according to truth table.
 Note down the output readings of sum and the carry bit for different combinations of
inputs.
