LOGIC DESIGN I • LAB 2

Build and Test Derived Logic Gates

Construct NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR circuits, verify their truth tables, and compare how each gate responds.

PHASE 1

Build the circuits

PHASE 2

Verify the truth table

Predict output Y
PHYSICAL GATE STATION

Input LEDs respond to A and B. The output LED remains unrevealed until the learner predicts Y.

PHASE 3

Practice and assessment

Practice remains locked

Complete the tests for NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR first.
