What is the output of an AND gate when all inputs are 1?
Show answer1 (or HIGH). AND outputs 1 only when all inputs are 1.
What is the output of an OR gate when both inputs are 0?
Show answer0 (or LOW). OR outputs 0 only when all inputs are 0.
What does a NOT gate produce?
Show answerThe opposite of its input: 1 becomes 0, and 0 becomes 1.
A NAND gate output is 0 only when ___?
Show answerAll inputs are 1. It is NOT AND.
An XOR gate output is 1 when ___?
Show answerInputs are different (one is 1 and the other is 0).
What is a truth table?
Show answerA table that shows all possible input combinations and their corresponding outputs.
How many possible output combinations exist for a 2-input logic gate?
Show answer4 (from inputs 00, 01, 10, 11). With n inputs, there are 2^n combinations.
What is a flip-flop?
Show answerA digital circuit that can store one bit of information and retain its state.
What does a D flip-flop capture?
Show answerThe value at its D input when the clock edge occurs.
What are the SET and RESET functions of an SR flip-flop?
Show answerSET forces the output to 1, RESET forces the output to 0.
What unique feature does a JK flip-flop have?
Show answerWhen both J and K inputs are 1, it toggles (switches) its output on each clock pulse.
What is a finite state machine?
Show answerA computational model with a finite number of states and transitions based on inputs.
Name the two main types of FSMs based on output logic.
Show answerMoore machine (output depends on current state) and Mealy machine (output depends on state and input).
What determines transitions between states in an FSM?
Show answerInput signals and the current state.
What is a state in a finite state machine?
Show answerA distinct condition or configuration that the system can be in, defined by its stored values.
