Design and Simulation of an Enhanced Burglar Alarm Circuit

This report details the design and simulation of an enhanced burglar alarm circuit. The project involves creating the circuit using NAND gates, simulating it using Altera Quartus II, and providing circuit diagrams and waveform analysis. The report includes a description of the circuit layout, time simulation results, and an analysis including expressions, Karnaugh maps, and conclusions. The assignment also requires discussing the practical implementation of the circuit, considering real-world applications and limitations. The report includes snapshots of the circuit and waveform obtained through simulation. The report is to be submitted with the design and simulation results, along with the discussion on the implementation aspects. The report's correctness, completeness, and clarity of ideas will be evaluated, with bonus points offered for implementation using ALTERA boards DE2-115.

GUIDELINES:
1. Turn in a report with the results of their design and simulation of the circuits. The report
should contain:
 A brief description of the project with circuit layout (schematics), the waveform resulting
from the time simulation, and your analysis, including expressions, Karnaugh maps, comments
and conclusions.
 Functional time simulation.
 Discussion in how you would implement the circuit in real life and under which
considerations.
2. To download the Altera Quartus® II CAD system follow the directions given in the
document Quartusinst.doc. You need to use your Daytona state College e-mail and create
your Altera account. Just follow the instructions on how to get the license file and
installation instructions. If you don’t want to download the software, I can use a line drawing
of the block diagram and put into Altera Quartus myself.
3. Once Altera Quartus® II CAD system is installed watch the videos on QUARTUS II and
follow the tutorial Quartus II Introduction Using Schematic Designs. It will guide you on
how to do the first part of the project and gain knowledge on how to use Quartus II. You
will include snapshots of the resulting circuit and waveform obtained by you.

4. Proceed with the design and implementation of an Enhanced Burglar Alarm that controls the
security in a residence with 2 windows and one door. The circuits must be implemented
using only NAND gates. Use as guideline the circuit discussed in the class (Combinatorial
Circuits: Minimization Part I) and reviewed in the videos of Quartus II. Take snapshots of the
circuit and the waveform. You will include this in report for the first part.
5. The project will be evaluated considering the following aspects:
 Result correctness.
 Report completeness.
 Clarity of ideas.
 Bonus points implementing with ALTERA boards DE2-115 6.
