--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Design the 8-input NOR gate, minimize the number of the gates, and draw your
circuit.
a. Using 2-input NOR and NOT gates.
b. Using 2-input NOR, 2-input NAND, and NOT gates only if needed.

2) Perform technology mapping, NOR mapping, for the circuit drawn below using
2NOR, 3NOR, and inverter.
3) Design a temperature control system for a room as follows:
The user will select any number between0:15, to select it’s desired temperature (0
for very cold, 15 for very hot). You have 4 heaters (H1, H2, H3, H4) to control
the room temperature. You will turn on the heaters according to the following
table:

Desired H1 H2 H3 H4
Temperature
T≤3 OFF OFF OFF OFF
3<T≤6 ON OFF OFF OFF
6<T≤9 ON ON OFF OFF
9 < T ≤ 12 ON ON ON OFF
12 < T ≤ 15 ON ON ON ON

a. How many inputs and outputs you have for this circuit?
b. Formulate this problem be drawing the truth table.
c. Simplify the outputs using kmap
d. Draw your design
