FULL NAMES: MARKING KEY


QUESTION 1 [10 MARKS]
Number systems
a) Express (210)10 in the following forms (4 marks)
i. (11010010)2
ii. (322)8
iii. (D2)16
iv. (0010 0001 0000) BCD
b) Write 2’s complement for x= (-3.5)10 and compute y=3.5+(-3.5) (4 marks)
i. 3.5 = 011.10
-3.5 in 2's_comp=100.10
ii. 3.5 + (-3.5) = (1)000.00
c) The binary number (11010011)2 is in 2’s compliment, convert it to
decimal form. (2 marks)
(11010011)2 = (-45)10

QUESTION 2 [8 MARKS]
Logic gates
a) Complete the truth table below for different logic operations. (4 marks)

X1 X2 X3 X1.X2.X3 X1 + X2 X3 X1 ⊕ X2 X1⊙X2
0 0 0 0 0 0 1
0 0 1 0 0 0 1
0 1 0 0 0 1 0
0 1 1 0 1 1 0
1 0 0 0 1 1 0
1 0 1 0 1 1 0
1 1 0 0 1 0 1
1 1 1 1 1 0 1

b) Design a circuit that has the function below. (4 marks)

Z = (A + B) (C+D) +A

QUESTION 3 [18 marks]


Boolean Algebra/simplification
a) Consider the function
Ā𝑩̅𝑪̅ + ĀB𝑪̅ + ĀBC + ABC + Ā𝑩 ̅
̅ 𝑪 + AB𝑪
i. Derive the truth table for the expression (6 marks)
INPUTS OUTPUT
A B C X
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 0
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1
ii. Convert the expression to an equivalent POS expression (6 marks)
101 100 – POS
(𝐴̅ + B + 𝐶̅ ) (𝐴̅ + B + C)
iii. Use Karnaugh map to simplify the SOP expression (6 marks)

QUESTION 4 [11 MARKS]


a. In a certain chemical-processing plant, three different liquid chemicals are used in a
manufacturing process. The three chemicals are stored in three different tanks. A level
sensor in each tank produces a HIGH voltage when the level of chemical in the tank
drops below a specified point.
You are asked to design a circuit that monitors the chemical level in each tank and
indicates when the level in any TWO of the tanks drops below a specific point.
i. Draw a truth table that captures the situation (4 marks)
INPUTS OUTPUT
A B C X
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1

ii. Derive and simplify the expression from the truth table (4 marks)
BC+AC+AB

iii. Draw a simplified circuit diagram (3 marks)


QUESTION 5 (13 MARKS)
Functions of combinational logic f
a) Define a hazard and give at least 2 types of hazards. (3 marks)
Glitches caused by structure of circuit and propagation delays are called hazards.
Static hazard
Dynamic hazard

b) Differentiate between a decoder and an encoder (2 marks)


An encoder is a device, circuit, or program that converts digital data into an analogue
signal. A decoder is a device, circuit, or program that converts an analogue signal into
digital data
c) Differentiate between multiplexer and a DE-multiplexer (2 marks)
Multiplexer refers to a type of combinational circuit that accepts multiple inputs of data
but provides only a single output. The demultiplexer refers to the type of combinational
circuit that accepts just a single input but directs it through multiple outputs.

d) For the full-adder shown, assume the input bits are as shown with A = 0,
B = 0, Cin = 1.

The Sum and Cout will be? (2 mark)


Sum = 1 Cout = 0
e) Define a full adder. (2 mark)
By contrast, a full adder has three binary inputs (A, B, and Carry in) and two binary
outputs (Carry out and Sum)
f) Explain what cascading is. (2 mark)
A connected series of devices/inputs etc.
