Question 100: Semiconductors and Logic Gates

Question

If V
A
and V
B
are the input voltages (either 5V or 0V) and V
0
is the output voltage then the two gates represented in the following circuit (A) and (B) are :-

Accepted Answer

V
A
= 5V $$\Rightarrow$$ A = 1
V
A
= 0V $$\Rightarrow$$ A = 0
V
B
= 5V $$\Rightarrow$$ B = 1
V
B
= 0V $$\Rightarrow$$ B = 0
If A = B = 0, there is no potential anywhere here V
0
= 0
If A = 1, B = 0, Diode D
1
is forward biased, here V
0
= 5V
If A = 0, B = 1, Diode D
2
is forward biased hence V
0
= 5V
If A = 1, B = 1, Both diodes are forward biased hence V
0
= 5V
Truth table for I
st
$$	herefore$$ Given circuit is OR gate
For II
nd
circuit
V
B
= 5V, A = 1
V
B
= 0V, A = 0
When A = 0, E - B junction is unbiased there is no current through it
$$	herefore$$ V
0
= 1
When A = 1, E-B junction is forward biased
V
0
= 0
$$	herefore$$ Hence this circuit is NOT gate
