Lab 2: Development of Functional Building Blocks

Continuing the first lab, we continue with the following exercises:

1. 4-bit Binary to 1-Seven Segment LED Display using 7 primitive logic gates

2. 4-bit Binary to 1-Seven Segment LED Display using NAND gates only

3. 4-bit Binary to 1-Seven Segment LED Display using NOR gates only

4. 8-bit Binary to 3-Seven Segment LED Display

Note that, we already learn how to build up Binary-Coded Decimal (BCD) converter using 7 primitive logic gates using the following steps in the first lab: 

1. Derive a truth table of Binary-Coded Decimal. Note that you will have 10 inputs (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9) and 4 inputs (X,Y,Z,W).
2. Write Boolean expressions for each output w.r.t inputs
3. Simplify the output functions by using either Boolean algebra postulates and theorem or K-map
4. Build up the circuit using Circuit Marker.
