Topics & Concepts

Step-by-Step Solution

To determine the output waveform YY, we first analyze the given logic circuit and then evaluate its output for each time interval.

1. Analysis of the Logic Circuit

The logic circuit consists of two AND gates and one OR gate:

  • The upper AND gate receives input AA and the inverted input Bˉ\bar{B} (indicated by the bubble at its lower input terminal). Hence, its output is: Y1=ABˉY_1 = A \cdot \bar{B}

  • The lower AND gate receives the inverted input Aˉ\bar{A} (indicated by the bubble at its upper input terminal) and input BB. Hence, its output is: Y2=AˉBY_2 = \bar{A} \cdot B

  • The outputs Y1Y_1 and Y2Y_2 are fed into an OR gate to produce the final output YY: Y=Y1+Y2=ABˉ+AˉB=ABY = Y_1 + Y_2 = A \cdot \bar{B} + \bar{A} \cdot B = A \oplus B

Thus, the given circuit represents an XOR (Exclusive-OR) gate, which produces an output of 11 when the inputs AA and BB are different, and 00 when they are the same.


2. Time-Interval Analysis of Inputs and Output

From the given input waveforms of AA and BB:

  1. For 0<t<10 < t < 1:

    • A=0A = 0
    • B=1B = 1
    • Y=01=1Y = 0 \oplus 1 = 1
  2. For 1<t<21 < t < 2:

    • A=1A = 1
    • B=0B = 0
    • Y=10=1Y = 1 \oplus 0 = 1
  3. For 2<t<32 < t < 3:

    • A=0A = 0
    • B=0B = 0
    • Y=00=0Y = 0 \oplus 0 = 0

3. Conclusion

The output YY is at logic level 11 for 0<t<20 < t < 2 and at logic level 00 for 2<t<32 < t < 3. This corresponds to the waveform depicted in Option B.
