Question 1 of 17
Identify each of these logic gates by name, and complete their respective truth tables:

Reveal answer
Notes:In order to familiarize students with the standard logic gate types, I like to given them practice with identification and truth tables each day. Students need to be able to recognize these logic gate types at a glance, or else they will have difficulty analyzing circuits that use them.

Question 2 of 17
Identify each of these relay logic functions by name (AND, OR, NOR, etc.) and complete their respective truth tables:

Reveal answer
Notes:In order to familiarize students with standard switch contact configurations, I like to given them practice with identification and truth tables each day. Students need to be able to recognize these ladder logic sub-circuits at a glance, or else they will have difficulty analyzing more complex relay circuits that use them.

Question 3 of 17
A Karnaugh map is nothing more than a special form of truth table, useful for reducing logic functions into minimal Boolean expressions.
Here is a truth table for a specific three-input logic circuit:

Complete the following Karnaugh map, according to the values found in the above truth table:

Reveal answer
Notes:Showing students that Karnaugh maps are really nothing more than truth tables in disguise helps them to more readily learn this powerful new tool.







I am studying for my midterms, and this helped me a lot. The author is trying to share the information through pure comprehension, explaining the origin and target of each and every rule, which most teachers tend not to do… Thank you so much !!
