Logic Circuits

Essential Questions:

• What is a sensor?
• What is digital logic?
• How are digital processors designed??

Students will be able to answer the following questions:

1.  How many possible outputs are there for n-digital inputs?
2. What is a “don’t care” condition?
3. How do the OR, AND & Inverter gates work?

Students should be able to:

• Design and build a circuit that triggers outputs based upon combinations of sensor inputs.

Students will know: 

• How to calculate a binary number
• How logic gates function
• That no voltage is not the same as:
  • The low voltage value
  • Zero
  • Negative battery terminal
  • Ground
• How to build a circuit
• How a simulator can assist an electrical engineer
