Did you ever wonder what happens when you start
adding digital circuits together, using the output of
one as the input of another? When you build this
project you’ll find out.
One of the integrated circuits contained in your kit is
a quad two-input NAND gate IC. You are probably
not familiar with some of these words. IC is short for
integrated circuit. An integrated circuit contains
many transistors, diodes, and resistors in one small
package.
Quad literally means four. In this IC there are four
separate NAND gate circuits, each receiving two
inputs. Each NAND gate has two input terminals.
We have been using only two-input logic circuits so
far, but some circuits have more than two inputs.
Finally, this circuit is called a gate, because this is
your entrance to the digital world (just a joke).
Seriously, a gate is a circuit that has more than one
input and only one output. Its output is not energized
until its inputs meet certain conditions. We will use
this handy component with more digital circuits in
other projects.
This gate circuit is called a buffer because it is used
to keep two portions of a device isolated from each
other.
Refer to the schematic as you build this project. We
take the output from one NAND gate, and use it for
both inputs to the second (note the two inputs for
the two NANDs are always the same). From what
you know about NANDs, what do you think happens
if the input to the first NAND is 1? If the first input is
0? Try to figure it out before building this project.
Before completing the wiring, set the switch to B.
Connect terminals 13 and 14 to turn the power on.
What happens to LED 1? Now set the switch to A.
LED 1 lights up.
As you’ve probably figured out, 1 is the input when
the switch is set to A, and 0 is the input when the
switch is at B. When the input to the first NAND is 1,
its output is 0. But the 0 output of the first NAND is
the input to the second. The 0 input to the second
makes its output become 1, lighting the LED.
