Data Sheets
If you need to refer to the data sheets of various chips during the lab, you can click on any of the links below: If the datasheets haven't been printed yet, print a set from these links: 74LS00 74LS01 74LS02 74LS03 74LS04 74LS05 74LS08 74LS09 74LS10 74LS12 74LS13 74LS15 74LS20 74LS21 74LS22 74LS26 74LS27 74LS28 74LS30 74LS32 74LS33 74LS37 74LS38 74LS40 74LS42 74LS47 74LS48 74LS51 74LS54 74LS55 74LS74 74LS75 74LS76 74LS83 74LS85 74LS86 74LS90 74LS9 74LS13 74HCT24 74LS24 74HCT24 74LS25 74HCT54.
EXPERIMENT #1: INVESTIGATING THE KITt
For this part, concentrate only on the flatter part of the Digital Kit, not the circuit board that is upright, facing you. Please follow the steps below.
- Power OFF. Connect a wire between the Logic Indicator L4 and the Logic Switch A. Activate Switch A, and observe the LED (Light Emitting Diode) turn ON and OFF. Switch the wire from A to A-Bar, and see how the LED reacts .
- Power OFF. Same experiment, but this time replace the Logic Switch by one of the Data Switches.
- Power OFF. Connect one of the Logic Indicators to the Clock signal. Connect a second wire from another Logic Indicator to the Clock-bar signal. Make sure the sliding switch is on the 1Hz mark. Power UP. What do you observe?
- Slide the switch to 1KHz. What happens? Why? Is there any difference in the brightness of the LED? Why?
EXPERIMENT #2: INTEGRATED CIRCUITS AND LOGIC GATES
Explanations will be given in class. Our objective for today will be to design, implement, wire up, and demonstrate how a binary adder works.
We will refer to the diagram below for wiring integrated circuits.
