Experiment 1: Combinational Logic Circuits
Aim: Make a full adder circuit using XOR and NAND Gates.
Apparatus:
1. XOR and NAND Gates (IC 7486 and IC 7400)
2. LED and Resistors
3. Power Source (5V with ground support)
4. Connecting Wires
Briefing what we did:
As we were told we implemented the circuit given in the experiment by using XOR and
NAND Gates. First, we checked the LEDs by using a resistor in series so that they don’t burn
then we checked each IC if it is working or not by connecting them between high and low
voltages by using an LED then then we connected the circuit as it was given and compared
the output values with theoretical expectations using a truth table.
The simplified expressions for D and E are as follows:
D=A⊕B⊕C
E = AB + BC + CA
My own inferences/ what I learned:
1. I deduced that the circuit we made was actually a FULL ADDER Circuit where “D” is
the “Sum” and “E” is the “Carry out”.
2. It is very important not to forget connecting VCC and GND to the IC’s.
3. It is also necessary to check each component separately before using it in a circuit.
4. It is good to know the configuration of the IC’s beforehand.

Sources of Error:
• Loose connections
• Faulty LED’s
• Faulty IC’s (Potential reason may be because switch is turned on for long period of
time)
• Faulty power source
• It is possible that one may forget to power up the IC’s using VCC and GND
Precautions:
• Wear proper shoes and make changes to the circuit only when the power source is
turned off.
• Don’t leave the switch on for long periods of time which may damage the IC’s.
• Make the connections neat and tight.
• Check each IC individually before using in the circuit.
