Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around identifying a digital logic circuit based on a truth table provided by a participant. The participants are attempting to name the device and its pins based on the truth table and are seeking guidance due to the unavailability of the referenced diagram.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a truth table indicating possible relationships between inputs A, B and outputs C, D, suggesting that C could be the negation of A and D the negation of B.
  • Several participants express difficulty accessing the linked diagram, with multiple comments indicating that the link leads to a sign-in page or is otherwise inaccessible.
  • There is a suggestion that the truth table may represent a configuration of gates rather than a specific device, but this remains uncertain.
  • Some participants discuss the process of accessing the image, including attempts to edit the link or navigate to it directly, but no successful access is reported.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree that the image is inaccessible, leading to challenges in providing further assistance. However, there is no consensus on the identification of the device or the interpretation of the truth table.

Contextual Notes

The discussion is limited by the lack of access to the diagram, which is crucial for identifying the device and confirming the truth table's implications. The interpretations of the truth table are based on assumptions that may not be validated without the visual reference.

Homework Statement



On the data sheet, name the device in Figure 9, and appropriately name the four pins A, B, C, and D according to what the device is. Check your Digital Logic book for some guidance.

Homework Equations



None

The Attempt at a Solution



So I've set up a truth table for this equation and got

A B C D
0 0 1 1
0 1 1 0
1 0 0 1
1 1 0 0

So having looked at this, it appears as if the two inputs are reversed. However, I'm not sure if there is an actual device out there that this represents, or just a configuration of gates. I've checked my books and nothing sticks out. Any ideas?

At time of writing I can't see the diagram.

I'm not able to see the linked image either -- it just takes me to Google g-mail sign-in if I try the link directly...

What link? I don't even see a link in the OP.

Of course I cheated, and clicked the "Edit" button on his post to see the link, but only green folks have access to that button... :smile:

OH NO! This forum is being run by little green men from outer space?

How does that help? I can see the link but how do we use/edit that to see the image?

It certainly does appear that C= ¬A and D= ¬B
but until you post your image on a site where it is publicly accessible no one can advise further.

Sometimes I'm able to paste the link itself into my browser and get to the image, but in this case it didn't work. Other times I can edit the link a bit to get into the website at a higher level and navigate to the image (if it has been moved at the website or something similar).
