BEE BEE Bachelor of Electrical Engineering Digital Logic and Systems Questions and Answers 2 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: What is the output of an XOR gate when both inputs are 1?
- 0 (Correct answer)
- 1
- Undefined
- High impedance
Correct answer: 0
An XOR gate outputs 0 when both inputs are the same value.
Question 2: Which flip-flop is used to divide the input clock frequency by 2?
- T flip-flop with T=1 (Correct answer)
- D flip-flop with D=0
- SR flip-flop with S=1
- JK flip-flop with J=0, K=0
Correct answer: T flip-flop with T=1
A T flip-flop with T tied to 1 toggles on every clock edge, producing an output at half the clock frequency.
Question 3: How many select lines are needed for an 8-to-1 multiplexer?
- 3 (Correct answer)
- 2
- 4
- 8
Correct answer: 3
An 8-to-1 multiplexer requires 3 select lines because 2^3 = 8 input combinations.
Question 4: What does a Karnaugh map primarily help minimize?
- Boolean expressions (Correct answer)
- Clock frequency
- Power consumption
- Memory usage
Correct answer: Boolean expressions
A Karnaugh map is a graphical method used to simplify Boolean algebra expressions and reduce the number of logic gates needed.
Question 5: In a 4-bit synchronous counter, what is the maximum count value in decimal?
- 15 (Correct answer)
- 16
- 8
- 10
Correct answer: 15
A 4-bit counter counts from 0 to 2^4 - 1 = 15, giving a maximum decimal value of 15.
Question 6: Which logic family offers the lowest power consumption in static conditions?
- CMOS (Correct answer)
- TTL
- ECL
- BiCMOS
Correct answer: CMOS
CMOS logic draws negligible static power because its complementary transistor pairs ensure one is always off in steady state.
