EXPERIMENT 2 (CLO 6, PLO 2):
THE DESIGN AND IMPLEMENTATION OF UNIVERSAL GATES.
1.0 Objectives
1. Design and implementation of Universal Gates – NAND & NOR.
2. To show the output waveform using DSCH 3 and MICROWIND 3.1.
2.0 Equipment
Software: DSCH 3 and MICROWIND 3.1
3.0 Theory
A universal gate is a gate which can implement any Boolean function without need to use any other gate type. The NAND and NOR gates are
universal gates. In practice, this is advantageous since NAND and NOR gates are economical and easier to fabricate and are the basic gates used in
all IC digital logic families.
Logic Symbol & Truth Table:
NAND Gate
NOR Gate
4.0 Procedure
1. Design the CMOS circuit diagram for NAND & NOR gates in DSCH (Schematic Editor) and run the simulation to obtain timing diagram for
input and output by referring the following CMOS circuit diagram:
2 input NAND Gate 2 input NOR Gate
2. Display the layout of DSCH schematic diagram.
3. Display the output results for DSCH schematic simulation.
4. Draw the layout design using the schematic (NAND & NOR) as reference in Microwind software tool.
5. Run the simulation to obtain the timing diagram of input and output.
6. Display the layout design of NAND & NOR.
7. Display the output results for Microwind simulation.
8. Analyse the simulation result with truth table in stated in theory parts.
5.0 Conclusion
By using DSCH and Microwind software, circuit layout of NAND and NOR logic gate is prepared, simulation carried
out to obtain the timing diagram of inputs and outputs and output waveform verified as per truth table.
