PHYSICS INVESTIGATORY PROJECT ON

OR GATE USING DIODES

You  must  have  seen  two  switches  to  ac?vate  the  same  doorbell,  whether  you  push  the  switch  at  the  front  door  or  the  one  at  the  garage,  the  doorbell  will  ring.  Have  you  ever  thought  how  and  why  this  happens?    The  2-­‐input  (A  and  B)  OR  gate  using  diodes  will  help  you  understand  this  mechanism,  it  has  two  inputs  and  only  one  output  (Q).  

In  this  project,  you  will  make  an  OR  gate  logic  circuit  using  two  diodes,  a  resistor,  an  LED  and  a  few  connec?ng  wires.  Two  connec?ng  wires  are  connected  to  the  p-­‐sides  of  the  diodes.  Each  connec?ng  wire  represents  the  input.  This  input  could  be  either  1  or  0,  where  1  stands  for  Vcc  (posi?ve/high  voltage)  and  0  stands  for  ground  (nega?ve/low  voltage).

To  provide  the  respec?ve  inputs,  the  truth  table  of  OR  gate  is  followed.  

Input  A   Input  B Output  Q0 0 00 1 11 0 11 1 1

On  providing  the  inputs,  if  the  LED  glows  this  means  output  Q  =  1  or  high.  If  the  LED  does  not  glow,  the  output  Q  =  0  or  low.  AWer  verifying  the  experimental  outputs  in  four  different  cases  of  the  inputs,  we  do  the  ‘path  of  current’  analysis  and  reason  out  why  the  LED  glows  in  each  case.
