Q21
How many inputs of a four-input AND gate must be HIGH in order for the output of the logic gate to go HIGH?
  • A any one of the inputs
  • B any two of the inputs
  • C any three of the inputs
  • D all four inputs
Answer: Option D
Q22
If the output of a three-input AND gate must be a logic LOW, what must the condition of the inputs be?
  • A All inputs must be LOW.
  • B All inputs must be HIGH.
  • C At least one input must be LOW.
  • D At least one input must be HIGH.
Answer: Option C
Q23
Logically, the output of a NOR gate would have the same Boolean expression as a(n):
  • A NAND gate immediately followed by an inverter
  • B OR gate immediately followed by an inverter
  • C AND gate immediately followed by an inverter
  • D NOR gate immediately followed by an inverter
Answer: Option B
Q24
A logic probe is placed on the output of a gate and the display indicator is dim. A pulser is used on each of the input terminals, but the output indication does not change. What is wrong?
  • A The dim indication on the logic probe indicates that the supply voltage is probably low.
  • B The output of the gate appears to be open.
  • C The dim indication is the result of a bad ground connection on the logic probe.
  • D The gate is a tristate device.
Answer: Option B
Q25
What is the Boolean expression for a three-input AND gate?
  • A X = A + B + C
  • B X = A · B · C
  • C A – B – C
  • D A $ B $ C
Answer: Option B
