COMPUTER ORGANIZATION AND ARCHITECTURE
Answer to question number 2
a)
The two universal gates are NAND gate and NOR gate.
b)
Q A J P
0 0 0 0
0 0 1 0
0 1 0 0
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 0
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1
The logical expression obtained from the above truth table is AJ + A’JQ + AJ’Q = AJ
+ Q (A’J + AJ’) = AJ + Q (A XOR J)
The circuit diagram obtained from the expression is provided below:

Answer to question number 3
The truth table for the provided diagram is described below:
X Y Z F
0 0 0 1
0 0 1 1
0 1 0 1
0 1 1 1
1 0 0 1
1 0 1 1
1 1 0 1
1 1 1 1
The expression obtained from the diagram is ((X XOR Y) X) + (YZ)’ XOR ((X XOR
Y) XOR Z)’
