Boolean Constants and Variables

• Allowed 2 binary variables only : 1 & 0
• Represent voltages or logic level i.e. not actual
number
•May represent (in circuit) : ON,CLOSED (logic 1)
and OFF,OPEN (logic 0)
• Only 3 operation in Boolean algebra
1. Logical addition (+)
2. Logical multiplication (•)
3. Logical complementation ( ¯ )

APPLICATION

Prepared By : Roslam Ideris 21

 Malaysian Institute of Aviation Technology

APPLICATION
• Consist of 2 OR gates and an AND gate, with
logic states received from 7 parameters
• When either throttle lever is pushed forward, the
switch at that position is made (advance) and
there is a logic state 1 to OR gate1.
• 5 other parameters are sensed and logic states
sent to OR gate2.

APPLICATION
• If all the other parameters are in the take-off position, i.e.

1. Slats not fully extended

2. Flaps in take-off position i.e. less than 25°
3. Spoiler handle in retract position
4. Horizontal stabilizer in the green band (correct
angle of incidence for take-off).Then the inputs
to OR gate2 are all logic 0 and it’s output to the
AND gate is logicPrepared
state 0

APPLICATION
• The aircraft on ground (weight switch) gives
another logic 1 to the AND gate, which has at
this time 2 logic 1’s and a logic 0
• If either of 4 inputs go out of take-off position
eg flaps >25°,then the flap input signal to logic
gate2 is logic 1 which makes the input to the
AND gate logic 1
• The AND gate now has 3 logic 1’s which now
gives an output to warning circuits (CONFIG
light and aural warning)
