ANSWER ALL QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1 (20 MARKS)

(a) A storage tank system for a pancake syrup manufacturing process has four inputs A,

B, C, and P that control the whole tank system. The expression for the output Z, of

the system is given as:

Z = ABCD + ABCD + ABCD + A B C D + 4 C

i) Sketch the logic circuit represented by the output Z expression.

(2 marks)

ii) Develop a truth table for the output Z expression.

(5 marks)

iii) Reduce the function specified in truth table in Question 1 a (ii) to its minimum

SOP form by using a Karnaugh map.

(b) The outputs of a Combinational Logic Circuits are only determined by the logical

function of their current input state, logic "0" or logic "1", at any given instant in time

as they have no feedback, and any changes to the signals being applied to their inputs

will immediately have an effect at the output. Figure 1 is a combinational logic

circuit with three inputs A, B, C, and an output X.

ii) Reiterate Question lb (i) using only "NOR" gates.

QUESTION 2 (20 MARKS)

The process of converting control objectives into a ladder logic program requires

structured thought. Boolean algebra provides the tools needed to analyze and design

these systems. By applying this technique design a burglar alarm system for a house.

When activated, an alarm and lights will be activated to encourage the unwanted

guest to leave. This alarm will be activated if an unauthorized intruder is detected by

window sensor and a motion detector. The window sensor is effectively a loop of wire

that is a piece of thin metal foil that encircles the window. If the window is broken,

the foil breaks breaking the conductor. This behaves like a normally closed switch.

The motion sensor is designed so that when a person is detected the output will go on.

As with any alarm an activate/deactivate switch is also needed.

The inputs and outputs are chosen to be;

A= Alarm and lighis switch (1 = on) W WindoIDoor sensor (1 = OK) M Motion Sensor O) S 1 arm Active switch (1 on)

The basic operation of the alarm canbe denbed with rules.

1. If alarm is on, check sensors. 2. lf window/door sensor is brcken(turns off),sound alarm and turn on lights 3. lfmotionseror goes on(detecis thiel)sound alarm and turn on lights.

Note: As the engineer, it is yourisponslbilityto define these items before starling the vrk. If you do not do this first you are guaranteed to produce a poor design. It is important to develop a good list of inputs and outputs, and give the msimple names so that theyare easy to refer to. Most companies will use

re numbering schemes on their diagrams.

the symbol shown at right. Complete the timing diagram by showing the waveforms

of Q and N assuming that Q is initially low.

(b) A general sequential circuit consists of a combinational logic section and a memory

section (flip-flops). Basic idea behind this type of design is to use flip flops to hold

the system's state and use combinational logic to make the system move from state to

state. By implementing this application, design a binary UP! DOWN counter with the

following sequence in Figure 3. The counter should be able to count up/down using

J-K flip-flops.

QUESTION 4 (20 MARKS)

(a) A 8-bit bidirectional shift register is shown below. A HIGH on this input enables a

shift to the right, and a LOW enables a shift to the left. Determine the state of the

register after each clock pulse for the RIGHT/LEFT control waveform given. Assume

that the register is initially storing the decimal numbers sixty-six in binary, with the

right-most position being the LSB. There is a LOW on the data-input line.

(b) RAM or random access memory is the temporary memory that the computer uses to

perform its functions while being used. There are two major categories of RAM

which are:

• Static RAM (SRAM)

• Dynamic RAM (DRAM)

(i) Explain the differences between SRAM and DRAM

(6 marks)

(ii) Discuss the types of DRAM

QUESTION 5 (20 MARKS)

A digital signal processor (DSP) is a type of microprocessor - one that is incredibly

fast and powerful. A DSP is unique because it processes data in real time. This real-

time capability makes a DSP perfect for applications where we won't tolerate any

delays. Digital cellular telephone is one of the applications how DSP has been used.

a) Illustrate a simplified block diagram of a digital cellular phone.

(10 marks)

b) Describe the functions performed by the DSP in cellular application to

improve the reception and transmission of a voice signal.
