Viva Questions: Realization of Logic Gates & De-Morgan's Theorem

Basic Logic Gates Viva Questions

Q: What is a logic gate?

A: A logic gate is a basic digital circuit that performs a logical operation on one or more binary inputs and produces a

single output.

Q: What are the basic logic gates?

A: The three basic gates are: AND, OR, NOT.

Q: What is the truth table?

A: A truth table shows all possible input combinations and the corresponding output of a logic gate or circuit.

Q: What are universal gates?

A: NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates because we can construct any other logic gate using only NAND or

only NOR gates.

Q: What is the function of an AND gate?

A: Output is high (1) only when all inputs are high.

Q: What is the function of an OR gate?

A: Output is high (1) if at least one input is high.

Q: What is the function of a NOT gate?

A: It inverts the input. If input is 1, output is 0, and vice versa.

Q: What is the symbol and Boolean expression for AND gate?

A: Symbol: | Expression: Y = A B

Q: What is the symbol and Boolean expression for OR gate?

A: Symbol: + | Expression: Y = A + B

Q: What is the symbol and Boolean expression for NOT gate?


Viva Questions: Realization of Logic Gates & De-Morgan's Theorem

A: Symbol: ' or bar | Expression: Y = A'

De-Morgan's Theorem Viva Questions

Q: State De-Morgans Theorems.

A: First Law: (A + B)' = A' B' | Second Law: (A B)' = A' + B'

Q: Why is De-Morgans theorem important?

A: It helps in simplifying Boolean expressions and converting logic circuits using only NAND or NOR gates.

Q: How do you verify De-Morgans Theorem practically?

A: By building both sides of the expression using logic gates and comparing outputs using a truth table.

Q: Which gates are used to verify De-Morgan's Theorems?

A: First theorem: OR, NOT, AND | Second theorem: AND, NOT, OR

Q: Can De-Morgans laws be applied more than once in a simplification?

A: Yes, they can be applied repeatedly to simplify complex Boolean expressions.

Application and IC Viva Questions

Q: What ICs are used for logic gates?

A: 7408 AND, 7432 OR, 7404 NOT, 7400 NAND, 7402 NOR

Q: How many gates are in a 7408 IC?

A: It has 4 independent 2-input AND gates.

Q: What is the use of logic gates in real life?

A: Used in computers, calculators, digital circuits, microprocessors, and control systems.

Q: What is the difference between NAND and AND gate?

A: NAND gate is the inverted output of AND. AND: A B | NAND: (A B)'


Viva Questions: Realization of Logic Gates & De-Morgan's Theorem

Q: What happens if one input is left floating (not connected)?

A: It can cause unpredictable behavior; all inputs must be connected properly for accurate output.
