Solving DRL Logic Problem: Get Help Here!

[Ahmedzica]

Hi Guys,

I'm solving a DRL related problem

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/49829206/skitch.jpg

I though the output diode were in forward . but I suddenly noticed that it's in reverse .. so I couldn't handle the answer. can anybody help,please?

Scroll halfway down through this http://site.iugaza.edu.ps/mjouda/files/EXP-3.pdf

I haven't read it, but it looks like they discuss it.

Just as a general note, when you ask someone to do you a favor (like answering a question for you), it's not really a good idea to make it difficult for them (by, for example, posting a picture sideways so that it is very hard to read).

yes you're right .. I'm sorry

it isn't the same.. as they the anode of the output diode connected to voltage source

Ah, so it is. That causes me to conclude you have drawn it incorrectly, as I can see yours not functioning properly with that diode blocking the output. What do your classmates think?

◗ Where you wrote V_cc - I₁R, can you describe the path I takes through your circuit?

◗ For inputs 1 0 0 I'd be inclined to estimate Vx as a little higher than 0.7V to distinguish that condition from some others (such as 0 1 1). Can you account for this?

◗ You gave one resistor a value, do you need to estimate a value for the other resistor, too?

yes that's what I thought.. I solved it as the one right here

I've solved it but I can not know what is the function of D2 and D3, could you tell me,please?

I don't know what the purpose of D2 is. But as this circuit does not fit under the heading "DRL Logic question" I think you should post it as a separate thread. Other students interested in this transistor logic would not find it under the current header.
