SIT112: INTRODUCTION TO DIGITAL ELECTRONICS

ASSIGNMENT (CAT 2)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: 21st December 2021)

Figure 1

1. Figure 1 above represents the intersection of a main highway with a secondary access road.
Vehicle detection sensor are placed along lanes C & D (main road) and lanes A & B (access
road). These sensor outputs are LOW when no vehicle is present and at least one sensor output is
High when a vehicle is present. So Write down the logics of controlling the intersection traffic
light that no accident will occur. Then using the sensor outputs design a logic circuit to control
the traffic light. The intersection traffic light is to be controlled according to the following logic.
a) The east-west (E-W) traffic light will be green whenever both lanes C and D are
occupied.
b) The E-W light will be green whenever either C or D is occupied but lanes A and B are
not both occupied.
c) The north-south (N-S) light will be green whenever both lanes A and B are both occupied
but C and D are not both occupied.
d) The N-S light will also be green when either A or B is occupied while C and D are both
vacant.
e) The E-W light will be green when no vehicles are present
Using the sensor outputs A, B, C, and D as inputs, design a logic circuit to control the traffic
light. There should be two outputs N/S and E/W, which go HIGH when the corresponding light is
to be green. Simplify the circuit as much as possible and show all steps. Use the least number of
gates. (6 marks)

2. A certain 4 input gate called a LEMON gate realizes the function LEMON(A,B,C,D) =
BC(A+D). Show a realization of the function f (w,x,y,z) = Σ(0, 1, 6, 9, 10, 11, 14, 15)
with only three LEMON gates and one OR gate. (Assume complemented inputs as
available). (4 marks)
3. Redesign the following logic circuit expression for the output to make it more efficient
(simplified). The output X is equal to

X  ( P.Q.S ).P.R  P.Q.R.S  PQR (4 marks)

4. In a university the candidates who satisfy the following criteria will be selected for the
science stream:
 75% marks in Maths and 75% marks in Physics or
 75% marks in Maths and 75% marks in Chemistry or
 75% marks in Physics and 75% marks in Chemistry
Write down the truth table for the above function, derive the Boolean expression from the
truth table and simplify it, and finally design a two level digital circuit using NAND gates
only for the simplified expression. (4 marks)
5. An assembly line has 3 failsafe sensors and 1 emergency shutdown switch. The Line
should keep moving unless any of the following conditions arise:
o If the emergency switch is pressed.
o If sensor 1 and sensor 2 are activated at the same time.
o If sensor 2 and sensor 3 are activated at the same time.
o If all three sensors are activated at the same time.
a) Derive the truth table for this system (2 marks)
b) Simplify the output using Boolean algebra and draw the minimum (reduced)
logic circuit. (5 marks)
