PROCEDURE Part 1
1. Construct the circuit given in Figure 1.
2. Correctly place the 14-pin package 7404, 7408 and
7432 by using datasheet.
3. Connect +5V voltage source and ground to the circuit.

4. Run the simulation and observe the output of the circuit.

Properly connect the other output led to C, D, E and F
nodes. Apply all
input combinations and fill the result in Table 4.

6. According to your
preliminary work, construct
the simplified version of the
given circuit in Figure 1. 7.
Apply all input combinations
and fill the result in Table 5.

8. Plot the time diagram of the circuit according

to your results in Table 4. To do this, apply two
square signals using signal function
generator for A and B with the frequencies 500 Hz and 1 kHz (you may apply this for just observing G, the rest may be filled directly).
