Q1.
What will be the output of the D-FF given below? (Set-up Time = 40s, Hold Time =
0s, Input Clock Frequency = 10 KHz).
Solution
The output will always remain high
Q2
Consider a digital thermostat in which the measured room temperature is converted
to a digital number and applied to the A inputs of the comparator. The desired room
temperature entered from a keypad, is stored in a register that is connected to the B
inputs. If A<B, the furnace should be activated to heat the room. The furnace should
continue to heat while A=B and shut off when A>B. As the room cools off, the furnace
should stay off while A=B and turn on again while A<B. What digital circuit should be
used to interface a magnitude comparator to a furnace to perform the thermostat
controlled application described above? Fill up the interface portion in the question
with a sequential circuit.

Q3.
Consider the following state table. Is X a Mealy or a Moore output? How about Y?
Solution
X is a Mealy output, Y is Moore output
Q4.
Give the state table and draw the state diagram for the following circuit:

Q5.
1. Implement the following using 8:1 mux with A,C and D as the select lines.
F(A,B,C,D) = ∑m (1,2,3,4,8,10,14).

2. Design a 1-bit full adder using suitable-sized decoders and two OR gates.

3. Design a 7-bit comparator using 7485 ICs.
