Lab Descriptions:

Theory:

Schematic:

Basic Gates, and Basic Functions
"Functions" vs Gates !!
Thresholds and Outputs
Basic "Boolean" descriptions
Gate Conversions
Connective Gating (NAND's, NOR's)
Gating & Control
"Enable" vs "Inhibit" Controls
Review of "Forced" vs "Maybe"    Input Controls
Exclusive OR "Functions" (3 Circuits)   Comparator Circuit,   Half-Adder Circuit,   and The 4 NAND's
The Exclusive OR Function as a Selectable   Invertor
Boolean Conversions,   via "DeMorgan's Law"
The RS Data Latch's
"Flip-Flops",    using Cross-Coupled NAND's & NOR's
"Flip-Flip", v.s. "Illegal" or "Prohibited"
"Flop-Flop", v.s."Illegal" or "Prohibited"
"Forced" v.s. "Maybe" Input Controls   (again, for the RS-FF's)
The 4-Input / 4-Output Exclusive-Or Circuit,    and "Troubleshooting"		(536Kb)
Dynamic-Gating Analysis		(121Kb)
