1) What are basic properties of Boolean algebra?
The basic properties of Boolean algebra are commutative property, associative Property
and distributive property.

2) State the associative property of boolean algebra.

The associative property of Boolean algebra states that the OR ing of several variables
results in the same regardless of the grouping of the variables. The associative property is
stated as follows: A+ (B+C) = (A+B) +C

3) State the commutative property of Boolean algebra.

The commutative property states that the order in which the variables are OR ed makes
no difference. The commutative property is: A+B=B+A

4) State the distributive property of Boolean algebra.

The distributive property states that AND ing several variables and OR ing the result
With a single variable is equivalent to OR ing the single variable with each of the the several
Variables and then AND ing the sums. The distributive property is: A+BC= (A+B) (A+C)

5) State the absorption law of Boolean algebra.

The absorption law of Boolean algebra is given by X+XY=X, X(X+Y) =X.

6) State De Morgan's theorem.

De Morgan suggested two theorems that form important part of Boolean algebra. They are,
1) The complement of a product is equal to the sum of the complements. (AB)' = A' + B'
2) The complement of a sum term is equal to the product of the complements. (A + B)' = A'B'

7) Reduce A (A + B)
A (A + B) = AA + AB= A (1 + B) [1 + B = 1]= A.

8) Reduce A'B'C' + A'BC' + A'BC

A'B'C' + A'BC' + A'BC = A'C'(B' + B) + A'B'C
= A'C' + A'BC [A + A' = 1]
= A'(C' + BC)
= A'(C' + B) [A + A'B = A + B]

9) Reduce AB + (AC)' + AB’C (AB + C)

AB + (AC)' + AB’C (AB + C) = AB + (AC)' + AAB'BC + AB'CC
= AB + (AC)' + AB'CC [A.A' = 0]
= AB + (AC)' + AB'C [A.A = 1]
= AB + A' + C' =AB'C [(AB)' = A' + B']
= A' + B + C' + AB'C [A + AB' = A + B]
= A' + B'C + B + C' [A + A'B = A + B]
 = A' + B + C' +
B'C =A' + B + C'
+ B' =A' + C' + 1
= 1 [A + 1 =1]

10) Simplify the following expression Y = (A + B) (A + C’) (B' + C’)

Y = (A + B) (A + C’) (B' + C’)
= (AA' + AC +A'B +BC) (B' + C') [A.A' = 0]
= (AC + A'B + BC) (B' + C’)
= AB'C + ACC' + A'BB' + A'BC' + BB'C + BCC'
= AB'C + A'BC'

11) Show that (X + Y' + XY) (X + Y') (X'Y) = 0

(X + Y' + XY)(X + Y')(X'Y) = (X + Y' + X) (X + Y’) (X' + Y) [A + A'B = A + B]
= (X + Y’) (X + Y’) (X'Y) [A + A = 1]
= (X + Y’) (X'Y) [A.A = 1]
= X.X' + Y'.X'.Y
= 0 [A.A' = 0]

12) Prove that ABC + ABC' + AB'C + A'BC = AB + AC + BC

ABC + ABC' + AB'C + A'BC=AB(C + C') + AB'C +
A'BC =AB + AB'C + A'BC
=A(B + B'C) + A'BC
=A(B + C) + A'BC
=AB + AC + A'BC
=B(A + C) + AC
=AB + BC + AC
=AB + AC +BC ...Proved

13) Convert the given expression in canonical SOP form Y = AC + AB + BC

Y = AC + AB + BC
=AC (B + B’) + AB (C + C’) + (A + A') BC
=ABC + ABC' + AB'C + AB'C' + ABC + ABC' +
ABC =ABC + ABC' +AB'C + AB'C' [A + A =1]

14) Define duality property.

Duality property states that every algebraic expression deducible from the postulates Of
Boolean algebra remains valid if the operators and identity elements are interchanged. If the
dual of an algebraic expression is desired, we simply interchange OR and AND operators and
replace 1's by 0's and 0's by 1's.

15) Find the complement of the functions F1 = x'yz' + x'y'z and F2 = x (y'z' +
yz). By applying De-Morgan's theorem.
F1' = (x'yz' + x'y'z)' = (x'yz')'(x'y'z)' = (x + y' + z)(x + y +z')
 F2' = [x (y'z' + yz)]' = x' + (y'z' + yz)'
= x' + (y'z')'(yz)'
= x' + (y + z) (y' + z')

16) Simplify the following expression

Y = (A + B) (A = C) (B + C)
= (A A + A C + A B + B C) (B + C)
= (A C + A B + B C) (B + C)
=ABC+ACC+ABB+ABC+BBC+BCC=ABC

expression are not reduced.
ii) The map method is restricted in its capability since they are useful for simplifying only
Boolean expression represented in standard form.

19) What is a karnaugh map?

A karnaugh map or k map is a pictorial form of truth table, in which the map diagram is
made up of squares, with each squares representing one minterm of the function.44) Find the
minterms of the logical expression
Y = A'B'C' + A'B'C + A'BC + ABC'
Y = A'B'C' + A'B'C + A'BC +
ABC' =m0 + m1 +m3 +m6
=_m (0, 1, 3, 6)

20) Write the maxterms corresponding to the logical expression

Y = (A + B + C’) (A + B' + C') (A' + B' + C)
= (A + B + C’) (A + B' + C') (A' + B' + C)

The sequential circuits are classified on the basis of timing of their signals into two
types. They are, 1) Synchronous sequential circuit. 2) Asynchronous sequential circuit.

2. Define Flip flop.

(1) RS flip-flop (2) SR flip-flop (3) D flip-flop
(4) JK flip-flop (5) T flip-flop

4. What is the operation of RS flip-flop?

x When R input is low and S input is high the Q output of flip-flop is set. x
When R input is high and S input is low the Q output of flip-flop is reset. x
When both the inputs R and S are low the output does not change
x When both the inputs R and S are high the output is unpredictable.

5. What is the operation of SR flip-flop?

x When R input is high and S input is low the Q output of flip-flop is reset.
x When both the inputs R and S are low the output does not change.
x When both the inputs R and S are high the output is unpredictable.

6. What is the operation of D flip-flop?

output toggle on the next positive clock edge.
8. What is the operation of T flip-flop?
T flip-flop is also known as Toggle flip-flop.
x When T=0 there is no change in the output.
x When T=1 the output switch to the complement state (ie) the output toggles.

9. Define race around condition.

In JK flip-flop output is fed back to the input. Therefore change in the output results
change in the input. Due to this in the positive half of the clock pulse if both J and K are high
then output toggles continuously. This condition is called race around condition’.

10. What is edge-triggered flip-flop?

The problem of race around condition can solved by edge triggering flip flop. The term
edge triggering means that the flip-flop changes state either at the positive edge or negative
edge of the clock pulse and it is sensitive to its inputs only at this transition of the clock.

11. What is a master-slave flip-flop?

A master-slave flip-flop consists of two flip-flops where one circuit serves as a
master and the other as a slave.

12. Explain the flip-flop excitation tables for RS FF.

In RS flip-flop there are four possible transitions from the present state to the next state. They are,
x _ 0_0 transition: This can happen either when R=S=0 or when R=1 and S=0.
x _ 0_1 transition: This can happen only when S=1 and R=0.
x _ 1_0 transition: This can happen only when S=0 and R=1.
x _ 1_1 transition: This can happen either when S=1 and R=0 or S=0 and R=0.

13. Explain the flip-flop excitation tables for JK flip-flop

In JK flip-flop also there are four possible transitions from present state to next state. They are,
x _ 0_0 transition: This can happen when J=0 and K=1 or K=0.
x _ 0_1 transition: This can happen either when J=1 and K=0 or when J=K=1.
x _ 1_0 transition: This can happen either when J=0 and K=1 or when J=K=1.
x _ 1_1 transition: This can happen when K=0 and J=0 or J=1.

14. Explain the flip-flop excitation tables for D flip-flop

In D flip-flop the next state is always equal to the D input and it is independent of the present
state. Therefore D must be 0 if Qn+1 has to 0, and if Qn+1 has to be 1 regardless the value of Qn.

15. Explain the flip-flop excitation tables for T flip-flop

When input T=1 the state of the flip-flop is complemented; when T=0, the state
of the Flip-flop remains unchanged. Therefore, for 0_0 and 1_1 transitions T must be 0
and for 0_1 and 1_0 transitions must be 1.

16. Define sequential circuit.

Synchronous sequential circuits Asynchronous sequential circuits. Memory elements
are locked flip-flops Memory elements are either unlocked flip - flops or time delay elements.

24. What is race around condition?

In the JK latch, the output is feedback to the input, and therefore changes in the output
results change in the input. Due to this in the positive half of the clock pulse if J and K are both
high then output toggles continuously. This condition is known as race around condition.
25. Give the comparison between synchronous & Asynchronous counters.

modules except that they are predefined in verilog and do not need a module definition. The
important operations are and, nand, or, xor, xnor, and buf(non-inverting drive buffer).
12. Give the two blocks in behavioral modeling.
1. An initial block executes once in the simulation and is used to set up initial
conditions and step-by-step data flow.
2. An always block executes in a loop and repeats during the simulation.

13. What are the types of conditional statements?

1. No else statement
Syntax: if ([expression]) true –
statement; 2. One else statement
Syntax: if ([expression]) true – statement;
else false-statement;
3. Nested if-else-if
Syntax : if ( [expression1] ) true statement 1;
else if ( [expression2] ) true-statement
2; else if ( [expression3] ) true-
statement 3; else default-statement;
