Group A

Attempt any two questions (2 x 10 = 20)

1

Design a combinational circuit that generates 9’s complement of a BCD number.

2

Implement the following functions using PLA

1. w (A, B, C, D) = Σ(2, 12, 13)
2. x (A, B, C, D) = Σ(7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

4. z (A, B, C, D) = Σ(1, 2, 8, 12, 13)

3

Design sequential circuit specified by the following state diagram using T flip-flops.

Group B

Attempt any eight questions (8 x 5 = 40)

4

List two major characteristics of digital computer. Represent -6 (negative six) 8 bits in signed magnitude, signed 1’s complement and signed 2’s complement respectively. Represent decimal number 4673 in a) octal and b) BCD

5

Where is CMOS suitable to use? Define Power dissipation. Show that the positive logic NAND gate is a negative logic NOR gate and vice versa.

6

Simplify the following function and implement them with two level NOR gate circuit, F(w,  x,  y,  z) = wx’ + y’z’ + w’yz’.

7

Design a full subtractor circuit with three inputs x, y, $$B_{in}$$ and two outputs Diff and $$B_{out}$$· The circuit subtracts $$x-y-B_{in}$$., where $$B_{in}$$ is the input borrow, $$B_{out}$$ is the output borrow, and Diff is the difference.

8

Design 4-bit even parity generator.

9

What is the difference between a serial and parallel transfer? Explain how to convert serial data to parallel and parallel data to serial. What type of register is needed?

10

Explain negative-edge triggered D flip flop with necessary logic diagram and truth table.
