Logic Gates

Boolean relation at the output stage-Y for the following circuit is:

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

  1. Switches with diodes from the 5 V supply act as an OR gate at the base: base high if A or B is closed.
  2. Base high saturates the transistor, so collector (output) falls to 0; base low gives output 1.
  3. Y=A+B‾=A‾⋅B‾Y = \overline{A + B} = \overline{A}\cdot\overline{B} (NOR).
  4. So the answer is (c).
