INTRODUCTION:
Combinational logic circuits are made up from a combination of logic devices. A
combinational logic circuit has no memory characteristics so the outputs are
dependent solely on the present state of the inputs. A Boolean expression or truth
table can describe the logic function of a given circuit. A logic diagram or circuit
schematic can be created directly from a Boolean expression.
The basic process is demonstrated in the following figures for the expression
X=A+BC. Work from output, X, to inputs.
2. Evaluate the circuit in procedure 1 and determine the output (X) logic level for each input
combination. Record the logic level in the Calculated column in Table 1.
4. Using a logic probe or VOM, measure the output (X) logic level for each input state.
Record the logic level in the Measured column in Table 1.
5. Write the Boolean expression at the output of each logic gate for the following circuit.
7. Construct the logic circuit in procedure 5. Use a toggle switch for inputs A, B, & C.
VCC = +5 Volts, GND = supply ground
8. Using a logic probe or VOM, measure the output (X) logic level for each input state.
Record the logic level in the Measured column in Table 2.
Q2. Draw a logic diagram for the expression𝑋 = (𝑨𝑩 + 𝑨𝑪) + 𝑨𝑩𝑪. Use AND, OR, and
NOT gates.

Q4. The following circuit is not functioning properly. Determine the most likely component
that is causing the failure based upon the expected and measured logic values shown. The
circuit is functioning properly for the other input states not shown. Explain your
assumptions and how you arrived at your conclusion.
