Experiment 6

Observations

Input A Input B Output (LED On or Of)

High (1) High (1) On

High (1) Low (0) Of

Low (0) High (1) Of

Low (0) Low (0) Of

Discussion:

1. The input states required to obtain an output at 5 volts are having

both inputs ( A and B) connected to high and high(1). For the input
states to obtain an output at 5 volts, the first input (A) needs to be
connected at high for the LED in the circuit to turn on. There needs
to be a positive charge first for the current to pass and light up the
LED. Without being connected to a positive it will not cause the
circuit to have any current going through it, resulting in no leds
lighting up

2. The input states required to obtain an output at 0 volts are having

input A connected to low and input B connected to high, input A
connected to high and B connected to low, and both inputs
connected into low. This is because a negative charge (current) will
not go through the circuit and turn on the LED. Because of the IC it
changes the whole interphase of the circuit.

Conclusion:
Thus, in conclusion, the inputs need be connected to a high (positive) first for
the LED to emit light.

Experiment 7 (OR Gates)

Observations:
 Input A Input B Output (LED On or
Of)
High (1) High (1) On

High (1) Low (0) On

Low (0) High (1) On

Low (0) Low (0) Of

Discussion:

1. The input states required to obtain an output at 5 volts are having

inputs A and B connected to high(1) or having input A connected to
high and input B connected to low or having A connected to low and
B connected to high. A positive charge needs to be used for the
current to pass and light up the LED.

2. The input states required to obtain an output at 0 volts are having

input A and B connected to low. This is because a negative charge
(current) will not go through the circuit and turn on the LED.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the output has to be connected to high (positive) first for the
LED to emit light.
