INSTRUCTIONS

This assignment has three parts. Make sure you read the instructions carefully.

For Part 1, collect your reflections for Weeks 1 - 3 from each week’s Ed Lesson and create a single PDF document. You can simply copy/paste your reflections, but please add headings for each week. Please refer to the template as a reference of the structure of your reflections. While it is optional to follow the template, you are required to have your reflections specific to the topics covered in the corresponding weeks. The word count of reflection must be more than 100 words (excluding the headings provided in the template) in each week. Submit your PDF through the Moodle Assignment 1 Part 1 activity.

For Part 2, you need to submit two files through the Moodle Assignment 1 Part 2 activity:

1)    A PDF document with the answers to the questions and your workings.

2)    A separate .zip archive with the Logisim files (do NOT save as PDF file for your Logisim files) along with your individualised assignment specification.

Part 3 is an in-class test during your allocated Applied session (for Australian cohort) / Workshop session (for Malaysian cohort) in Week 4. Instructions will be available separately.

How are marks and grades determined?

Part 2 and Part 3 are worth 30 marks each. The overall mark is the sum of the two individual marks. The assignment is worth 15% of the unit’s marks.

If no meaningful or insufficient reflections are submitted for Part 1, the overall mark will be:

-    30 if the sum of Part 2 and Part 3 is greater than or equal to 30;

-    the sum of Part 2 and Part 3, otherwise.

Detailed Instructions for Part 2: Boolean Algebra (30 marks total)

Follow the link on Moodle to access your personalised truth table for this task.

Important: Your truth table is different from the one other students are working on.

Only download the file while you are correctly logged into Moodle with your own student account. Submitting work based on an incorrect truth table will be investigated as a potential breach of academic integrity.

The truth table you download describes a Boolean function with four input values X1,X2,X3,X4 and two output values Z1,Z2.

The main result of this part will be a logical circuit correctly implementing this Boolean function in the Logisim simulator.

Each task below needs to be documented and explained.

Task 2.1: Boolean Algebra Expressions (10 marks)

Write the Boolean function as Boolean algebra terms using the Sum of Product (SOP) form. First, think about how to deal with the two outputs. Then, describe each single row, in the

truth table, in terms of Boolean algebra. Finally, combine the terms for single rows into larger terms.

Briefly explain these steps for your particular truth table (e.g., explain for one particular row how you come up with the Boolean terms for that row, and then explain how you combine all rows). This explanation should be no more than a few sentences.

Also, write the Boolean function as Boolean algebra terms using the Product of Sum (POS) form. with a brief explanation of steps (e.g. how you combine all rows). Note that details of  POS are not covered in lectures/workshops/applied classes and you are required to find out how it works and come up with the Boolean function.

Notation: Use the following symbols and notation for writing Boolean algebra expressions. Variables are upper-case (e.g., X1, Z2). Boolean AND is written without a symbol, e.g., X1X2 . Boolean OR is written with the + symbol, e.g. X1  +  X2 . Negation is written using an

overline, e.g., X1 . Important: when writing terms like NOT X1 AND NOT X2, there must be a clear gap in the overlines, e.g., X1 X2 . Tip: you can use the equation function in Word or Google Docs to create overlines.

Task 2.2: Logical circuit in Logisim (10 marks)

Model the resulting Boolean terms (using SOP form) from Task 2.1 in a single Logisim   circuit, using only the basic gates AND, OR, NOT. You can use gates with more than two inputs. Check the template on the last page for how to structure your circuit.

Briefly explain your construction (as for Task 2.1, a short explanation is enough).

Test your circuit using values from the truth table and document at least 3 test cases. You can take screenshots of your Logisim window to document the tests. For each test case, state clearly the expected input and output values, in terms of a table or labels on the screenshot.

Task 2.3: Optimised circuit (10 marks)

The goal of this task is to find a minimal circuit using only AND, OR, and NOT gates. Based on the truth table and Boolean algebra terms of SOP from Task 2.1, optimise the function

using Karnaugh maps.

You will need to create two Karnaugh maps, one for each output. Your documentation must show

1)  the maps,

2)  the groups found in the maps

3)  the reduced Boolean functions derived from the maps and how the maps relate to terms in the optimised Boolean functions.

Then, use Logisim to create a minimal circuit, using only AND, OR, and NOT gates.

Test your circuit using values from the truth table and document at least 3 test cases. You can take screenshots of your Logisim window to document the tests. For each test case, state clearly the expected input and output values, in terms of a table or labels on the screenshot.

Submission Checklist Altogether, you should submit the following files: ●   Part 1 ○    1 PDF file for your reflections (Weeks 1 - 3) ●   Part 2 ○    1 PDF file - your answers to the questions ○    1 ZIP file containing the following files: ●   2 Logisim files ●    1 PDF file for your individual truth table Please check CAREFULLY before confirming your submissions. Any requests to revert the submission back to DRAFT will not be accepted. DRAFT submissions will not be assessed. Also, any incorrect, corrupted, empty or wrong file type submission will not be assessed.
