Question

1. Boolean algebra plays a pivotal role with digital computers. Research the term combinatorial circuit and bring back the definition. Further - what are gates ?? and... what are the different types of gates??


2. What are integrated circuits .. and how do they relate to boolean algebra ??


3. Boolean functions are functions that can be represented by Boolean expressions.
A boolean function could be f(x1,x2) = x1 ^ x2.

Create a simple boolean function... and its corresponding table.


No book quotes please.

Explanation / Answer

different types of gates


AND, NAND,, NOR OR, NOT


INTEGRATED CIRCUITS:
An electronic circuit formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, performing the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components



if x1 =1 and x2 = 1 then x1^x2 =1




if x1 =1 and x2 = 0 then x1^x2 =0



if x1 =0 and x2 = 1 then x1^x2 =0




if x1 =0 and x2 = 0 then x1^x2 =0
