Final Exam

  • The final exam will have two parts: a written exam and a hands-on lab exam.
  • The Written Exam will have about 25 written problems and about 20 multiple-choice questions covering material that we've studied the entire quarter. All problems will be similar to problems on Homework #1 through Homework #8, and all multiple-choice questions will be similar to questions from the textbook's True/False and Self-Test quizzes in Chapters 1 through 9.
  • Lab Exam: Here are the things I may ask you to do on the lab exam:
    • On the breadboard and in Multisim, build circuits using logic gates, decoders, encoders, multiplexers, demultiplexers, flip-flops, 555 timers, counters, and shift registers.
    • Use a logic probe or LEDs to obtain experimental truth tables for these circuits, and use an oscilloscope to display output waveforms. Initially the oscilloscope's controls will be misadjusted, and you'll have to adjust the controls to get a good display.
  • You will be allowed to use a calculator.
  • Except as stated below, you will not be allowed to use books, computer, or notes:
    • You will be allowed to use one sheet of notes (no larger than 8.5" by 11"), written in your own hand, with writing on one side only.
    • For the lab exam, you will be allowed to use a TTL Data Book or the Internet to find IC datasheets.
    • For the lab exam, you will be required to use Multisim for certain sections, but you will not be allowed to use it on other sections.
  • While I don't expect you to memorize the pin-outs of any ICs, you should be familiar with the operation of the following ICs:
    • Decoders/Demultiplexers: 7442, 7447, 74138, 74139, 74154
    • Encoders: 74147, 74148
    • Multiplexers: 74150, 74151
    • Parity Generator/Checker: 74280
    • Latches and Flip-flops: 7474, 7475, 74LS76
    • Timers: 555
    • Counters: 7490, 7493, 74161, 74163, 74190, 74192, 74193
    • Shift Registers: 74164, 74165, 74194
