QUESTION 3 (20 marks)

An oven is used to run reliability test on a device that operates in high temperature environment.
The oven consists of the following temperature sensors.

• Sensor A will turn on (logic 1) when the oven temperature is above 60°C.
• Sensor B will turn on (logic 1) when the oven temperature is above 50°C.
The oven also consists of the following component to maintain the oven’s temperature.

• Heating element C will turn on (logic 1) to increase the temperature of the oven such that
the temperature is controlled between 50°C and 60°C.
An output Y, which is connected to the alarm, will be activated (logic 1) if any of the following
conditions happens:

• Temperature is above 60°C and the heating element C is turned on.

• Temperature is below 50°C and the heating element C is not turned on.
(a) Complete the Truth Table shown in Table 3.1 in your answer book for the output Y. Indicate
clearly any DON’T CARE conditions.
