Examples (1/3)

F1(x, y, z) = x’y’z + x’yz + xy’
= x’z(y’ + y) + xy’
= x’z + xy’
Examples (2/3)

F2(x, y) = x(x’ + y)
= xx’ + xy
= 0 + xy
= xy
Examples (3/3)

F3(x, y) = (x’ + y’) ’ = xy (DeMorgan)

F4(x, y) = (x’y’)’ = x + y (DeMorgan)

Introduction of Solderless Breadboard

Solderless Bredboard is a convenient kit for lay outing circuits without
any soldering work. It is very useful for circuit test and modification
during practical training.

Components in lab can be reused with breadboard.

Normally, component’s pins are inserted into holes on breadboard.
Every five holes are connected together by a brass strip under plastic
cover. One of holes is connected to component’s pin and the other
holes are for circuit connection with jumpers.
