Questions and Answers

Which of the following best describes the key difference between combinational and sequential logic circuits?

  • Combinational circuits use only NAND gates, while sequential circuits use only NOR gates.
  • Combinational circuits produce outputs based on current inputs only, while sequential circuits also consider past outputs. (correct)
  • Combinational circuits are primarily used in memory devices, while sequential circuits are used in processing units.
  • Combinational circuits operate at higher clock speeds than sequential circuits.

Given the Boolean expression $F = (A \cdot B)' + C$, which logic gate combination would accurately represent this expression?

  • A single AND gate followed by a NOT gate, then the output of the NOT gate is ORed with C.
  • A NAND gate with inputs A and B, and the output of the NAND gate is ORed with C. (correct)
  • A NOR gate with inputs A and B, and the output of the NOR gate is ANDed with C.
  • An OR gate with inputs A and B, and the output of the OR gate is NANDed with C.

What is the primary advantage of using Gray code over standard binary code in certain applications?

  • Gray code is easier to convert to decimal.
  • Gray code requires fewer bits to represent the same range of decimal values.
  • Only one bit changes between successive Gray code values, reducing the chance of errors. (correct)
  • Gray code can represent negative numbers more efficiently.
