After completing this module, students are expected to be able to: Understand how to effectively read and interpret integrated circuit (IC) datasheets, including key specifications, pin configurations, and operational parameters. Understand the funda...

Before we make a digital system circuit, we have to know more about what component that will be used when making a digital system. Power Supply Power supply is an electrical component that is used to supply electrical power for other components. Power supply...

Datasheet is a piece of paper, in physical form or digital form, provided by the component or software manufacturer that consists of information about the product. In digital circuit design, datasheets provide information about electrical components suchas IC....

By the end of this module, you will be able to: Understand the purpose of a Karnaugh Map (K-Map) as a visual tool for simplifying digital logic. Correctly create a K-Map for functions with 2, 3, or 4 input variables. Translate a Boolean function or a truth ta...

In digital electronics, we often start with complex Boolean functions that describe how a circuit should behave. A complex function requires many logic gates (like AND, OR, NOT) to build. More gates mean the circuit is more expensive, consumes more power, and ...

A K-Map is a table made of cells or boxes. Each cell represents one possible combination of inputs from a truth table. The total number of cells is 2ⁿ, where n is the number of input variables. For 2 variables (X, Y), we need 2² = 4 cells. . For 3 variabl...

We will focus on the Sum-of-Products (SOP) method, which involves looking for 1s in the map. Step 1: Create and Fill the Map Draw the correct K-Map for your number of variables. Look at your function's truth table or list of minterms. Place a 1 in every cell t...

IC Functions, Pin Configurations, and Truth Tables IC 7400: Quad 2-Input NAND Gate Function: The IC 7400 contains four independent 2-input NAND gates in a single package. You can use any of these four gates separately. Boolean Expression: The logical function ...

Advantages of Complex vs Basic Logic Gates Using complex logic gates (like NAND, NOR, XOR) offers several significant advantages over building the same logic using only basic gates (AND, OR, NOT). Reduced IC Count: A single complex gate can perform the functi...

Building Basic Gates from Universal Gates NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates because any other logic function can be created using only one type of these gates. Using Only NAND Gates NOT Gate from NAND: To create a NOT gate (an inverter), connect t...
