Objective
To determine the logic function performed by a gate in an integrated circuit by
changing input logic values into a variety of logic gates and observing the
changes in the outputs.

Procedure
Power each integrated circuit in turn (EXACTLY 5 volts, MIND THE POLARITY),
and for each integrated circu9it determine the logic function performed.
Express the output ‘Y’ in terms of the inputs ‘A’, ‘B’, ‘C’, ‘D’. For each I.C. use
the gate indicated on the pinout diagram which gives you the input pins and
the corresponding output pin. The gate is represented by a rectangular box to
hide its identity.
Having established the identity of the gates now construct a logic circuit that
will add two binary digits A and B to obtain the sum S and carry C. Verify that
your circuit gives outputs which are in agreement with the truth table for the
half adder. Draw your logic circuit clearly labelling all the binary digits.
