E7A06: What is a characteristic of a monostable multivibrator?

It switches momentarily to the opposite binary state and then returns, after a set time, to its original state

It is a clock that produces a continuous square wave oscillating between 1 and 0

It stores one bit of data in either a 0 or 1 state

It maintains a constant output voltage, regardless of variations in the input voltage



E7A07: What logical operation does an AND gate perform?

It produces a logic "1" at its output only if all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "0" at its output only if all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "1" at its output if only one input is a logic "1"

It produces a logic "1" at its output if all inputs are logic "0"



E7A08: What logical operation does a NAND gate perform?

It produces a logic "0" at its output only when all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "0" at its output only when all inputs are logic "0"

It produces a logic "1" at its output only when all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "0" at its output if some but not all of its inputs are logic "1"



E7A09: What logical operation does an OR gate perform?

It produces a logic "1" at its output if any or all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "0" at its output if all inputs are logic "1"

It only produces a logic "0" at its output when all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "1" at its output if all inputs are logic "0"



E7A10: What logical operation does a NOR gate perform?

It produces a logic "0" at its output if any or all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "0" at its output only if all inputs are logic "0"

It produces a logic "1" at its output only if all inputs are logic "1"

It produces a logic "1" at its output only when none of its inputs are logic "0"



E7A11: What is a truth table?

A list of inputs and corresponding outputs for a digital device

A table of logic symbols that indicate the high logic states of an op-amp

A diagram showing logic states when the digital device's output is true

A table of logic symbols that indicates the low logic states of an op-amp



E7A12: What is the name for logic which represents a logic "1" as a high voltage?

Positive Logic

Reverse Logic

Assertive Logic

Negative logic



E7A13: What is the name for logic which represents a logic "0" as a high voltage?

Negative logic

Reverse Logic

Assertive Logic

Positive Logic
