  1. List some types of information available to engineers and technicians on a typical manufacturer's IC data sheet. Look at the data sheet for the 7408 or 74LS08 AND gate IC. (use data manuals from library or download data sheets from www.fairchildsemi.com)


  2. Write a short description of how an electromagnet and a relay operate. Use diagrams if possible. (use www.howstuffworks.com)


  3. Refer to Fig. 5-1 below to explain how the NPN transistor operates as a switch. You may use computer circuit simulator software to set up and operate this circuit.

    3. +0.2V
    4. +1.5V
    5. +1V


  9. Write a short paragraph explaining what we mean by noise margin as an IC specification? Diagrams might be useful.


  10. What CMOS logic family seems to have excellent drive capabilities?


  11. Refer to Fig. 5-3 below. When interfacing between TTL and CMOS (4000 or 74C00 series) component R1 is required. What is resistor R1 called and what is its purpose?
