| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The ability of a single logic output to drive a given number of inputs of other logic circuits was defined as the | "Fan Out" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| In some practical applications, the output of the logic circuit must drive a special application load such as a lamp, relay, or solenoid that requires more current than the module is capable of delivering. To accommodate these special loads, _________________are inserted between the logic output and the load. | Answer:" BUFFERS" Note: The logic BUFFER increases the drive capability by increasing the power output of the circuit without inverting the signal. (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers |
| Another purpose of the BUFFER is to_______________ one circuit from another by “buffering” the inputs. | Answer: "Isolate" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers |
| A BUFFER may be part of the TTL logic module. Under these conditions it is a transistor amplifier with an open collector circuit as the output of the IC. Typically, this circuit can deliver up to ________________mA with a collector voltage up to ______________Volts | 40mA/30 Volts |
| When the output of the AND gate is __________________, the transistor will cut-off. Under this condition the transistor resistance is very ___________________ with VCC dropped across the transistor. | Answer: Low/High (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers )(Figures DE7-2 and DE7-3....Buffer |
| Circuits in which inversion takes place are called ____________logic circuits. | Answer: "NOT" |
| Because a common-emitter transistor amplifier is used in the output stage, the signal on the base of the transistor and the signal on the collector are 180° out-of-phase with each other. A high output from the AND module results in a low output from the module. A low input at the base results in a high output. TheBUFFER in this case is technically an _____________? | Answer: "Inverter" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) Figure DE7-4 INVERTER logic symbol used in digital electronics. |
| The standard TTL output current is ________________ . | Answer 16mA (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| If the BUFFER amplifier symbol also has a bubble at the output lead, the bubble indicates that the input signal is inverted, making the amplifier an INVERTER. True/False | Answer: (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| How can VCC(Max) be determined for an open collector output of an IC? | Answer: The maximum voltage can be determined from the data sheet on the IC. (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| An amplifier being used as a BUFFER amplifier has its output signal 180° out-of-phase with its input signal is called a(n) ________________? | Answer: "Inverter" question was asked in a longer form in another question here |
| _________________________ ? is the number of logic circuit inputs that a single logic circuit output can drive. | Answer: "Fan Out" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| How can one tell from the symbol if an open collector BUFFER amplifier is part of an IC module? | Answer: There will be a diamond shape on the logic symbol. (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| What determines the voltage used for VCC in a typical BUFFER amplifier that is part of an IC module? | Answer: The voltage required by the load determines the value of VCC (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| A bubble either on the input or the output of a logic gate indicates ________________ ? logic. | Answer: "NOT" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| In NEMA logic, a(n) __________________________ ? is used to show that a gate is inverted. | Answer: "X" (REF: Chapter 7: BUFFER and INVERTER Amplifiers ) |
| It can be stated that a NAND logic gate will have a Low output ONLY when all the inputs are _____________? | Answer: "HIGH" (REF: Chapter 8: NAND Logic) |
| How many inputs can a NAND gate have? | Answer: "Any number of inputs" (REF: Chapter 8: NAND Logic) |
| Regardless of the number of inputs, to raise the NAND gate outputs to their high states, at least ______________ of it's input must be at its low (0) state. | Answer: "ONE" (REF: Chapter 8: NAND Logic) |
| When testing the NAND gate, each input can be shorted to ground one at a time to obtain a _______________________ output. | Answer: "HIGH" (REF: Chapter 8: NAND Logic) |
| Write a Boolean equation for NAND Logic function | Answer: AB=X' (REF: Chapter 8: NAND Logic) |
| The bubble on the NOR symbol indicates that the complement of the OR logic is provided at the output. True False | True (REF: Chapter 9: NOR Logic) |
| What would be the effect on the logic of taking the output from an INVERTER connected after the NAND logic module? | The output would be the complement of the NAND logic and result in AND logic. (REF: Chapter 9: NOR Logic) |
| A NAND gate can be created by inverting the output of an AND gate, but inverting the inputs to an AND gate is not equivalent True False | True The gate will have to be changed to an OR gate with inverted inputs. |

| An XOR gate never has more than ? inputs Select one: a. 1 b. 2 c. 3 d. 4 | Answer: 2 (REF: Chapter 10/11 XOR/XNOR) |
| The symbol ⊕ when it is drawn on a NOR gate symbol indicates that the gate is an XOR. True False | Answer: False (REF: Chapter 10/11 XOR/XNOR) |
