ADE LAB Viva Questions

1. What are the disadvantages of Analog communication?

Its not reliable, Noise effect is more on the signals, Power required for signal transmission also
more, Circuit complexity is more and costly.

2. What are the Advantages of Digital Communication?

Reliable, Noise effect is very less, power consumption is very less, various Digital ICs are available
so circuits not complex, cheap, Error detection and correction is also possible.

3. What is the difference between Latch And Flip-flop?

The difference between latches and Flip-flop is that the latches are level triggered and flip-flops
are edge triggered. In latches level triggered means that the output of the latches changes as we
change the input and edge triggered means that control signal only changes its state when goes
from low to high or high to low.

Latches are fast whereas flip-flop is slow.

4. State the De Morgan's Theorem?

De Morgan's Theorem stated two theorems:

The complement of a product of two numbers is the sum of the complements of those numbers.

(A. B)' = A' + B'

Truth Table:

The complement of the sum of two numbers is equal to the product of the complement of two
numbers.

(A + B)' = A'B'

Truth Table:

5. Define Digital System?


Digital systems are the system that processes a discrete or digital signal.

6. What is meant by a bit?


Bits are the binary digits like 0 and 1.
7. What is a Logic gate?
The basic gates that make up the digital system are called a logic gate. The circuit that can
operate on many binary inputs to perform a particular logic function is called an electronic circuit.

8. What are the basic Logic gates?

There are three basic logic gates-

AND gate.

OR gate.

NOT gate.

9. Which gates are called as Universal gate and what are its advantages?

The Universal gates are NAND and NOR. The advantages of these gates are that they can be used for
any logic calculation.

10. What are the applications of the octal number system?

The applications of the octal number system are as follows:

• For the efficient use of microprocessors.


• For the efficient use of digital circuits.
• It is used to enter binary data and display of information.

11. What are the fundamental properties of Boolean algebra?

The basic properties of Boolean algebra are:

• Commutative Property.
• Associative Property.
• Distributive Property.

12. What is meant by K-Map or Karnaugh Map?

K-Map is a pictorial representation of truth table in which the map is made up of cells, and each term
in this represents the min term or max term of the function. By this method, we can directly minimize
the Boolean function without following various steps.

13. Name the two forms of Boolean expression?

The two forms of Boolean expression are:

• Sum of products (SOP) form.


• The Product of sum (POS) form.

14. What are Minterm and Maxterm?

A minterm is called Product of sum because they are the logical AND of the set of variables and
Maxterm are called sum of product because they are the logical OR of the set of variables.

15. Write down the Characteristics of Digital ICs?

The characteristics of digital ICs are -

• Propagation delay.
• Power Dissipation.
• Fan-in.
• Fan-out.
• Noise Margin.

16. What are the limitations of the Karnaugh Map?

The limitations of Karnaugh Map are as follows:


It is limited to six variable maps which means more than six variable involving expressions are not
reduced. These are useful for only simplifying Boolean expression which is represented I standard
form.

17. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the K-Map Method?

The advantages of the K-Map method are as follows-

• It is an excellent method for simplifying expression up to four variables.


• For the logical simplification, it gives us a visual method.
• It is suitable for both SOP and POS forms of reduction.
• It is more suitable for classroom teachings on logic simplification.

The disadvantages of the K-Map method are as follows:

• It is not suitable when the number of variables exceeds more than four.
• For Computer reduction, it is not suitable.
• We have to take while entering the numbers in the cell-like 0, 1 and don't care terms.

18. Define Fan-in and Fan-out?

• Fan-in- The Fan-in of the gate means that the number of inputs that are connected to the gate
without the degradation of the voltage level of the system.
• Fan-out- The Fan-out is the maximum number of same inputs of the same IC family that a gate
can drive maintaining its output levels within the specified limits.

19. The applications of the multiplexer are as follows:

• It is used as a data selector from many inputs to get one output.


• It is used as A/D to D/A Converter.
• These are used in the data acquisition system.
• These are used in time multiplexing system.

20. What is a Demultiplexer?

The demultiplexer is a circuit that receives the input on a single line and transmits this onto 2n
possible output line. A Demultiplexer of 2n outputs has n select lines, which are used to select
which output line is to be sent to the input. The demultiplexer is also called as Data Distributor.

21. What are the applications of Demultiplexer?

The applications of the demultiplexer are as follows:

• It is used in the data transmission system with error detection.


• It is used as a decoder for the conversion of binary to decimal.
• It is used as a serial to parallel converter.
22. What are the differences between Combinational Circuits and Sequential Circuits?

The differences between combinational and sequential circuits are as follows:

23. What is the difference between Synchronous and Asynchronous Counters?

24. What are the applications of Flip-Flops?

The applications of flip-flops are:

• Flip-flops are used as the delay element.


• These are used for Data transfer.
• Flip-flops are used in Frequency Division and Counting.
• Flip-Flops are used as the memory element.

25. What is the difference between D-latch and D Flip-flop?

D-latch is level sensitive whereas flip-flop is edge sensitive. Flip-flops are made up of latches.

26. What are the applications of Buffer?

Applications of buffer are as follows:

• Buffer helps to introduce small delays.


• Buffer helps for high Fan-out.
• Buffer are used to eliminate cross talks.

27. What is a Multiplexer?

The multiplexer is a digital control which combines all the digital information from numerous
sources and gives one output.
