4. From the following list of input conditions, determine the state of the five output leads on a 74148 octal-to-binary encoder.

I0 = 1     I3 = 1     I6 = 1
I1 = 1     I4 = 0     I7 = 1
I2 = 1     I5 = 1     EI = 0
  • GS = L, A0 = L, A1 = L, A2 = H, EO = H
  • GS = L, A0 = H, A1 = L, A2 = L, EO = H
  • GS = L, A0 = L, A1 = H, A2 = L, EO = H
  • GS = L, A0 = H, A1 = H, A2 = L, EO = H

5. What is the function of an enable input on a multiplexer chip?
  • to apply Vcc
  • to connect ground
  • to active the entire chip
  • to active one half of the chip
Show Answer
6. The expansion inputs to a comparator are used for expansion to a(n):
  • 4-bit system
  • 8-bit system
  • BCD system
  • counter system
Show Answer
7. What do the mathematical symbols A < b and A > B mean?
  • A < B means A is greater than B. A > B means A is less than B.
  • A > B means A is less than B. A < B means A is greater than B.
  • A < B means A is less than B. A > B means A is greater than B.
Show Answer
8. A basic multiplexer principle can be demonstrated through the use of a:
  • single-pole relay
