1.
Answer:
2. What are the values under Column B, arranged from top to bottom? 0, 1, 0, 1
3. Modified True or False. You will be given two statements, choose the letter of the correct
answer. Write:
A – if both statements are true
B – if statement a is true; statement b is false
C – if statement a is false; statement b is true
D – if both statements are false
a) The index number corresponds to a binary pattern
b) Only the Minterms and not Maxterms are designated with index
ANSWER: B
4. a) Boolean Algebra can be used to manipulate equations into simpler form
b) Canonical Forms (sum-of-minterms, Product of Maxterms) or other standard forms of
(SOP,POS) differ in complexity
ANSWER: B
5. a) Any Boolean function cannot be expressed as a logical sum of minterms and as
a logical product of maxterms
b) The complement of a sum-of-minterms is a sum-of-maxterms with the same indices
ANSWER: E
6. a) The index for the term or maxterm, expressed as a binary number, is used to determine
whether the variable is shown in the true or complemented form
b) Minterms and Maxterms are designated with an index
ANSWER: C
7. a) Minterms are OR terms with every variable present in either true or complemented form.
b) Maxterms are AND terms with every variable in true or complemented form.
ANSWER: F
8. a) Earliest computers’ switches were opened and closed by magnetic fields produced by
energizing coils in relays.
b) The switches, in turn, opened and closed the current paths.
ANSWER: C
9. a) In actual physical gates, if an output changes, it causes the input to change.
b) the output change occurs instantaneously.
ANSWER: F
10. a) A two-valued Boolean algebra is also known as Switching Algebra.
b) The Boolean set B is restricted to 0 and 1. Switching circuits can be represented by this
algebra.
ANSWER: C
11. a) AND is denoted by a single quote (‘)
b) NOT is denoted by a plus (+)
ANSWER: F
12. a) literals are variables that may or may not be complemented
b) A + B · B = A shows the Absorption Theory
ANSWER: B
SHORT QUIZ 4
1. Combinational circuits are memory-less, thus, the output value depends ONLY on current
input values. True
2. For each binary combination of the input variables, there are three possible outputs. False
3. The detailed specification of a cell for the use of a designer is called cell specification. False
4. Combinational Circuits can be described by Boolean Functions True
5. Sequential circuits consist of combinational logic only. False
6. The output of sequential circuits depend only on input values. False
7. Hierarchy is useful because it reuses blocks if possible. True
8. Propagation delay is usually measured at 30% point with respect to the L and H output
voltage level. False
9. Gate array chip design is the most expensive style. False
10. Output inversion for Programmable Logic Array is unavailable. False
