(b) What is the advantage of R-2R ladder?

(c) Explain clearly how a Flip-Flop is used as a memory unit

(d) Rewrite the following expression in a form that requires as few

inversions as possible

b’c + acd' + a’c + c(a + c) (a' + d')

(e) Given that (79)₁₀ = (142)_b determine the value of b.

(j) What is DAC?

SECTION-B

2. What is the difference between 1's and 2's complement? Which is better

of the two for the representation of the negative numbers and why?

3. Using 2's complement notation perform the following arithmetic operations

using 8 bit register(s):

(i) 25 + (–12)

(ii) 17–6

(iii) –18 – 16                    

(iv) –8 + (18)

(v) 12–(–19)

4. What is Ring Counter? Explain the working of a 4-bit ring counter.

5. Mention all the Boolean laws and explain any two of them.

6. Explain the structure of a typical RAM cell.

SECTION-C

7.

 (a) Explain the following terms used in a DAC:

(i) Resolution

(ii) Accuracy

(iii) Settling time

(iv) Môn tonicity

(b) How are R-2R ladder used in DACs?

8. Given the function T(w,x,y,z) = ∑(1,3,4,5,7,8,9,11,14,15)

(a) Use the K - map to determine the set of all prime implicants. Indicate

specifically the essential ones. Find three distinct minimal expressions

for T.

b) Assume that only unprimed variables are available. Construct a circuit

which realizes T

9. Design a decade counter using J-K flip-flops.
