Q#16 Combinational Circuits GATE EE 2008 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A 3 line to 8 line decoder, with active low outputs, is used to implement a 3-variable Boolean function as shown in the figure.

The simplified form of Boolean function F(A, B, C) Implemented in 'Product of Sum' form will be

Explanation:

Given output of the Decoder is active low

Input of the OR gate is bubbled input. So the OR gate can be treated as active high enabled.

Q#17 Combinational Circuits GATE EE 2007 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

A, B, C and D are input bits, and Y is the output bit in the XOR gate circuit of the figure below. Which of the following statements about the sum S of A. B, C, D and Y is correct?

S is always either zero or odd

S is always either zero or even

S = 1 only if the sum of A, B, C and D is even

S= 1 only if the sum of A, B, C and D is odd

Q#24 Combinational Circuits GATE EE 1998 (Set 1) MCQ +2 marks -0.66 marks

In a digital combinational circuit with 4 inputs (A, B, C, D), it is required to obtain an output of logical 1 only for the input combination (A=1; B=C=D=0). It is known that the following combinations of input are forbidden:

ABCD= 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111

Evaluate the logical expression for the output and realize the same with two input NAND gates. Assume that complements of inputs are not available.

None

Explanation:

Output is 1 for input combination (A=1; B=C=D=0) i.e. 1000 and 1110, but 1110 is forbidden so only for input combination 1000 output is 1.
