VERIFICATION OF DEMORGANS THEOREM
Apparatus: 7408, 7432, 7404 digital logic kit and connecting leads.
OBJECTIVE
De Morgans theorem allows for the simplification of a Boolean Expression by the cancellation
of some redundant inversions. In this experiment, well know about this laws & theorem.
DE MORGAN`S THEOREM
De Morgan developed a theorem that allows conversion between logic expressions that has
inversions on the output to a different logic expression with the inversions on each of the inputs.
This may allow for the simplification of a Boolean Expression by the cancellation of some
redundant inversions. There are two Boolean Equations that represent De Morgan's Theorem:
It has two statements.
1.
(x+y+z) = x .y .z
where let F1 = (x+y+z) & F2 = x .y .z
2.
(x.y.z) = x +y +z
where let F3 = (x.y.z)
F4 = x +y +z
x'
x'.y'

F2 = x'.y'.z'

F1 = (x+y+z)'

PROCEDURE
1. At first construct the circuits shown in the Boolean laws.
2. Check if the laws are valid. Give truth tables for each law.
3. Construct the circuits shown in the circuit diagram.
4. Check if the two circuits give the same result.

OBSERVATIONS & RESULTS
1. Write truth tables for each Boolean law.
2. Write the equation for the figure 1. Now try to simplify it and find the equation for figure
2 from it.
Lab. Exercise:
Students are directed
1.
To write F1, F2, F3 and F4 in terms of NAND and NOR gates only.
2.
Then implement F1, F2, F3 and F4 with Universal gates and verify your result.
