3.     Introduction:
3.1.Bread Board:
A bread board is an electronic board into which the electrical components like diodes and resistors are placed. The sockets of bread board are sturdy and rugged. Diodes or other electrical components should be placed without making any damage to the board.
3.2.Logic Gates:
Logic gates are the basic building blocks of any digital system. It is any electronic system having one or more input and only one output. The relationship between input and output is based on some logic. At any given moment every terminal is at one of two binary conditions 0 or 1.
Following are the logic gates which we are going to design in this experiment:
i.                    NOR Gate
ii.                  NAND Gate
3.2.1.      NOR Gate:
NOR gate is a combination of OR and NOT gate. An OR Gate is a logic gate that has two or more inputs and one output terminal that perform logical disjunction. The output of an OR Gate is true or 1 if one or more inputs are true or 1. The OR Gate performs mainly the addition operation. NOT Gate is a logic gate which produces inverted result at its output. NOT Gate has one input and one output terminal. The inverter changes one logic level to its opposite. The symbol of NOR gate is shown below:

The truth table of NOR gate indicates that the output signal is one only for the time when both the inputs are 0.
3.2.2.      NAND Gate:
NAND gate is a combination of AND & NOT gate. AND Gate is a logic gate having two or more inputs and one output. If all the inputs are at 1 then only in that case that output of gate is one. The AND Gate performs logic multiplication usually known as AND function. NOT Gate is a logic gate which produces inverted result at its output. NOT Gate has one input and one output terminal. The inverter changes one logic level to its opposite.The symbol for NAND gate is shown below:

The mathematical expression for output Y of AND gate is given as:

3.3.Integrated Circuits:
A circuit of transistors, resistors, and capacitors constructed on a single semiconductor wafer or chip, in which the components areinterconnected to perform a given function. IC’s consume very little current, generate comparatively little heat, and are far more shock-proof and reliable than the older discrete-component circuits.
An integrated circuit consists of a number of circuit components (e.g. transistors, diodes, resistors etc.) and them inter connections in a single small package to perform a complete electronic function. These components are formed and connected within a small chip of semiconductor material. IC’s can be used as advanced logic gates. Some IC’s description is given below which can be used for logic gates.

3.4.Light Emitting Diodes:
A light-emitting diode (LED) is a semiconductor device that emits visible light when an electric current passes through it. LED’s convert electrical energy to light energy. In electronics, polarity indicates whether a circuit component is symmetric or not. Being diodes, will only allow current to flow in one direction. And when there’s no current-flow, there’s no light. The positive side of the LED is called the “anode” and is marked by having a longer “lead,” or leg. The other, negative side of the LED is called the “cathode.” 

4.     Experimental Setup:
The experimental setup for NOR & NAND is same with the difference only in the combination of IC’s.

5.     Experimentation:
To design & verify NOR Gate:
1.      First of all, suitable IC’s for OR and NOT gate are chosen, i.e. IC 7432 & 7404 respectively.
2.      Inserted IC’s on the bread board.
3.      As there are 14 pins on IC, 7th pin is grounded and a positive potential is applied to the 14th pin via a battery of potential less than 5V.
4.      Input signal is given to the input pins, i.e. 1 & 2 in our case through a battery
5.      Output terminal ( pin 3) is connected with the input pin of NOT gate.
6.      LED is inserted on bread board with its positive terminal connected to the output pin (i.e. 2 in our case) of NOT gate and negative signal is given to the other terminal.
7.      Initially negative signal is given to both of the input terminals i.e. 0 is the input at both terminals.
8.      Hence in result output is 1 i.e. LED lights up.
9.      Then 0 (negative signal) is given to one terminal and 1(positive terminal) to the other. LED didn’t light up.
10.  As we are working with NOR Gate, that’s why LED lights up for only input combination of 0,0.
11.  Truth table is drawn.
To verify AND Gate:
1.      First of all, a suitable IC for AND & NOT gate is chosen, i.e. IC 7408 & 7404 respectively.
2.      Inserted IC’s on the bread board.
3.      As there are 14 pins on IC, 7th pin is grounded and a positive potential is applied to the 14th pin via a battery of potential less than 5V.
4.      Input signal is given to the input pins, i.e. 1 & 2 in our case through a battery
5.      Output terminal ( pin 3) is connected with the input pin of NOT gate.
6.      LED is inserted on bread board with its positive terminal connected to the output pin (i.e. 2 in our case) of NOT gate and negative signal is given to the other terminal.
7.      Initially negative signal is given to both of the input terminals i.e. 0 is the input at both terminals.
8.      Hence in result output is 1 i.e. LED lights up.
9.      As we are working with NAND Gate, that’s why LED didn’t light up foronly input combination 1,1.
10.  Truth Table is drawn.

7.     Results & Discussion:
We have designed NOR and NAND gate by combining NOT & OR and NOT & AND gate respectively. As we have also verified the truth tables of NOR & NAND gate, we can deduce some main points from this. The total OR & AND logic gates in IC’s 7432 & 7408 respectively are 4, and 6 NOT logic gates in IC 7404. The logic gate whose all output entries are 0 except the one for which both of the inputs are 0, is known to be as NOR gate. OR operation or addition operation is performed along with the NOT operation via this gate. The gate which yields 0 only once for the time when both inputs are 1, Other than that it gives a zero output always, recognised to be as NAND gate. NOT gate simply inverted the input operation.
8.     Conclusion:
Through this experiment we have designed NOR and NAND gate and truth tables of NOR & NAND Gate are verified by using IC’s inserted on bread board along with LED to show OFF or ON status of output.
