Homework Statement
Graphs A and B are entries to a NOR gate with 2 inputs. Draw the output C.
Graphs X and are entries to a XOR gate. Draw the output Z.
I like Serena said:I'm afraid you've slipped at ##\overline{x} \cdot y##.
Tip: XOR means "either the one, or the other (but not both)".
I'm not sure why your output trails off to the right at logic 1, where x and y are both at 0
You have made another careless mistake, which will reveal itself.Femme_physics said:Oops, you're right, but I think this is my only mistake right?
Exactly right, there is much to be gained by doing it the rigorous way, if only to confirm that the formula jives with the common sense approach. Unfortunately, the more steps you go through, the greater the opportunity to make mistakes. If this were an exam question, I'm sure the time allocation would be for the simple route. It is good to know how to do the task both ways.As far as "heavy work" -- well, I think it has an added value, being more thorough allows you to see the whole picture and revise the issue better.

If you solve a problem two ways, agreement of answers usually confirms you as being correct. Disagreement can often highlight the error.
Good idea. Don't forget exclusive-OR, too.Femme_physics said:Trying to get more practice.
Here A and B are Or Gates, with C being the outcome
X and Y are AND Gates, with Z being the outcome
I drew the graphs of the outcome.
Looks good?
Logic gates are electronic circuits that perform basic logical operations, such as AND, OR, and NOT. They are the building blocks of digital circuits and are used to process and manipulate binary information.
To draw a logic gate diagram, you will need to first identify the inputs and outputs of the gate. Then, draw the gate symbol and connect the inputs and outputs with lines representing the flow of information. Make sure to label the inputs and outputs for clarity.
Drawing logic gate diagrams helps to visualize and understand how different logic gates work together to process information. It is also helpful for designing and troubleshooting digital circuits.
Yes, there are various software programs available that allow you to draw logic gate diagrams, such as LogicCircuit, CircuitMaker, and Lucidchart. You can also use online tools or even draw them by hand.
Yes, there are some basic rules and conventions for drawing logic gate diagrams. These include using standard symbols for each gate, placing the inputs on the left and outputs on the right, and ensuring that lines do not cross over each other. It is also important to label all inputs and outputs and use consistent colors and styles for gates of the same type.
