UNIT 8 Combinational Circuit Design and Simulation Using Gate Objectives Study Guide Review of Combinational Circuit Design Design of Circuits with Limited Gate Fan-in Gate delays and Timing Diagrams Hazards in Combinational Logic Simulation and Testing of Logic Circuits 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5
Objectives Topics introduced in this chapter: Draw a timing diagram for a combinational circuit with gate delays. Define static 0-and 1-hazards and dynamic hazard. Given a combinational circuit, find all of the static 0-and 1-hazards. For each hazard,specify the order in which the gate outputs must switch in order for the hazard to actually produce a false output. Given switching function, realize it using a two-level circuit which is free of static and dynamic hazards (for single input variable changes). Design a multiple-output NAND or NOR circuit using gates with limited fan-in. Explain the operation of a logic simulator that uses four-valued logic. Test and debug a logic circuit design using a simulator.
