Course Title: Digital Electronics Lab

Experiment No: 02
Name of the Experiment: De Morgan’s Laws using the Logic Gates.

Objective:
1. Understanding the De Morgan’s laws using the logic gates.

Theory:
De Morgan’s theorem states, if in a logic function each +(OR) is replaced by a(AND) and
each (AND) is replaced by a +(OR) & each variable is replaced by it’s compliments, the result is
the compliment of the given function i.e.

a. A+B = A . B

b. A . B = A + B

Equipments Required:
1.Trainer Board
2. AND Gate (7408)
3. OR Gate (7432)
4. NAND Gate (7400)
5. NOR Gate (7402)
6. NOT Gate Inverter (7404)
7. Connecting Wires.

Working Procedures:
1. Connect 5 V to lead 14 & ground to lead 7.
2. Construct the circuit according to the fig 3-1 & prove the De Morgan’s 1 st theorem
using the following truth table.

State Inputs Outputs

Student Works:
1. Prove the De-Morgan’s 2nd theorem with the help of NAND gate, OR gate & NOT
gate & verify their truth tables.

Questions:
1. What are the implications of De Morgan’s theorem?
2. Write down one logic expression using four variables & simplify the same with the
help of de Morgan’s theorems & also draw the simplified logic diagram.
