Expt. No. 4 Combinational Digital Circuits

Aim: This experiment is to design and get familiar with simple digital ICs. Several
combinational circuits can be built with these ICs.

Pre-lab work:
1. Familiarise yourself with the functioning and truth tables of the following digital
circuits: half adder, full adder, multiplexer.
2. Familiarise yourself with the operation and pin connections of the following TTL chips
(gates): 7400, 7402, 7404, 7408, 7411, 7432 and 7486; adder: 7483; multiplexers:
74151, 74153. A simple keyword search on the www will give you access to the
datasheets for these components, which have the description of the IC pins/terminals.
3. Design all the circuits given in this Laboratory procedure, before coming to the lab.

IMPORTANT: Remember that the power supply voltage, Vcc, of these TTL ICs is 5V 5%.
Higher power supply voltages WILL damage the IC permanently. Lower power supply voltages
will result in incorrect readings. You will damage the IC if you apply a voltage greater than +5 V
or less than 0 V at an IC input.

1. Use a 7483 4-bit adder chip to compute S = A+B (+ is for addition), where A and B are
two 4-bit signed numbers given in the 2s complement notation. Verify the correctness
of your breadboarded circuit .
2. Design a circuit using a 7483 4-bit adder chip and any gates as necessary to compute
D = A B, where A and B are two 4-bit signed numbers given in the 2s complement
notation. Verify the correctness of your breadboarded circuit.
3. Let A be a signed 4-bit 2s complement number. Design a circuit based on the 74151 8-
input multiplexer (and any other gates, if necessary) to output Z = 1 if -4 A 5, and Z =
0, otherwise. Verify the correctness of your breadboarded circuit.
