Interpretation should include
- drawing Boolean expressions, logic gate symbols, and truth tables for basic logic gates (e.g., AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, XOR, XNOR)
- explaining how a NAND gate can be used to construct other gates
- explaining how a truth table is constructed
- designing a Karnaugh map from a truth table
- differentiating between positive and negative logic
- explaining the differences between TTL and CMOS circuits
- listing IC handling and soldering safety procedures
- using combinational logic simplification using Boolean algebra rules
- using sequential logic.
Process/Skill Questions:
- Where did Boolean algebra get its name?
- What are the basic logic gates?
- How does the NOR gate differ from the NAND gate?
