07 - XOR, NAND and NOR Gates

 1. Which of the following statements are true?
Statement 1:
=============
Boolean functions may be practically implemented by using 
electronic gates

Statement 2:
==============
There is always a time delay between an input being applied 
and the output responding.

  Just statement 1

  Just statement 2

  Neither statements 1 or 2 are true (both are false)

  Both statements 1 and 2

 2. The XOR gate (sometimes EOR, or EXOR and pronounced as Exclusive OR) is a gate that gives a true (1 or HIGH) output when ______________________

  the number of false inputs is odd

  the number of true inputs is odd.

  the number of true inputs is even

  the number of false inputs is even

 3. Another way of putting it is: An XOR gate implements an exclusive or; that is, a true output results, if _____________________

  both and only both of the inputs to the gate is true

  one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is true.

  one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is either true or false

  both inputs are false

 4. XOR represents the ____________, - "one or the other but not both". (both cannot be the same)

  inequality function

  equality function

  falseness function

  trueness function

 8. A NOR gate is an OR gate with an inverted output. Output is high when ____________________

  neither input A nor input B is high

  just input A is high

  either input A or input B is high

  both input A and input B are high

 9. Four NAND gates have been connected together as shown to produce a ______________ gate

 11. What is thought to be the first embedded system - the Apollo Guidance Computer, was built exclusively from ____ gates, about 5,600 in total for the later versions
The Apollo Guidance Computer (AGC) was a digital computer produced
 for the Apollo program that was installed on board each Apollo 
Command Module (CM) and Lunar Module (LM). The AGC provided computation 
and electronic interfaces for guidance, navigation, and control of the 
spacecraft.

 12. The following truth table is likely to be for a:
INPUT	OUTPUT
A	B	A ___? B
=========================
0	0	  1
0	1	  0
1	0	  0

  MORE gate

  XOR gate

 13. In an XOR gate, when both inputs A and B are zero, output will be

  previous value

  0

  default

  1

 14. Logically, the output of a NOR gate would have the same Boolean expression as a(n):

  NAND gate immediately followed by an inverter

  NOR gate immediately followed by an inverter

  AND gate immediately followed by an inverter

  OR gate immediately followed by an inverter

 15. From the truth table for a three-input NOR gate, what is the only condition of inputs A, B, and C that will make the output X high?

  A = 0, B = 0, C = 1

  A = 1, B = 0, C = 0

  A = 0, B = 0, C = 0

  A = 1, B = 1, C = 1

 16. The output of a NAND gate is LOW if ________.

  all inputs are HIGH

  all inputs are LOW

  any input is HIGH

  any input is LOW

 17. The truth table in this image shows that the NOR gate output is the ___________ of the OR gate output for all possible input conditions.

  double

  exact duplicate

  exact same

 18. By coupling a NOT gate with the output terminal of an AND gate, we get

  an OR gate

  a NAND gate

  an AND gate

  a NOR gate

 19. The symbol for a NAND gate is an AND gate with a small circle on the output. The small circle represents inversion.

  FALSE

  TRUE

 20. The NAND and _________ gates are called universal functions/gates since with either one the AND and OR functions and NOT can be generated.

  NOT

  NOR

  XAND

  XOR
