Print and cut out the dominoes which consist of an image of a component and a description of another component. Students to align the dominoes in sequence so the description matches the appropriate adjacent image.
The resource contains two separate sets:
Set 1: Input and output components
Set 2: Passive and active components
Twelve pages of notes based on the function of combinational logic circuits. Examples of combinational circuits are given and explanations of how to write truthtables and express logic functions using Boolean Algebra. The notes show the effect of combining a variety of logic gates and how logic gates.
Combining two NOT gates to make a buffer
Combining AND, OR and XOR gates with a NOT gate
Writing truthables
Multiple input AND and NAND gates
Multiple input OR and NOR gates
Multiple AND gate circuits
