Tutor-marked Assignment 2 (TMA 2 – 25%)

Students are highly encouraged to passage their TMAs to the Turnitin system before submission, to encourage honest academic writing and it is not mandatory except for Project courses. Evidence of plagiarism or collusion will be taken seriously and the University regulations will be applied fully. You are advised to be familiar with the University’s definitions of plagiarism and collusion.
Instructions:
1. This is an individual assignment. No duplication of work will be tolerated. Any plagiarism or collusion may result in disciplinary action, in addition to ZERO mark being awarded to all involved.
2. You are to submit online of your answers in OAS system and it is your responsibility to submit your TMA correctly and timely. OAS system doesn’t allow re-submission of assignment. Marks will be awarded for correct working steps and answers.
3. The total marks for TMA 2 is 100 and contributes 25% towards the total grade.
4. TMA 2 covers the topics in Unit 1, 2, 3 and 4.
5. TMA 2 has to be done individually.
6. Your assignment must be word processed (single spacing) and clearly laid out. Any additional appendices or attachments must be placed at the end of the submitted document and must be referred to in the main body of the assignment, or it will not be read by the marker. Answer all parts in English.
7. All files or documents submitted must be labeled with your WOU ID and name.

Question 1 (20 Mark)
a) Construct a 5 bit ring counter using rising edge triggered D Flip-flops
(7 Mark)
b) Sketch the output waveform for this ring counter for two complete cycles, given that the initial value is 00001
(10 Mark)
c) Explain the weaknesses of a ring counter and suggest how weaknesses of a ring counter can be overcome?
(3 Mark)
Question 2 (20 Mark)
a) Calculate the number of SELECT Inputs necessary for a 16:1 Multiplexer.
(4Mark)
b) Explain the function of the SELECT inputs in a multiplexer.
(2 Mark)
c) Draw the Truth Table for the 16:1 Multiplexer.
(8 Mark)
d) Using the 16:1 multiplexer implement the logic function below:
F(A,B,C,D)={2,3,5,12}
(6 Mark)

Question 3 (60 Mark)-Lab
Lab Instructions:
1. The lab session consists of two labs which is Lab 1 (Decoder Circuits) and Lab 2 (Asynchronous Counter). Marks will be awarded based on the following criteria:
a) Correct results obtained from all parts practical lab work.
b) The extend of your involvement in the lab. Tutors will observe students to see if they are actively involved in the lab exercises, or do they just sit around passively and waiting for other people to do the work and copy their results.
c) Problems solving skills. Students will be observed to see if they are good at analytical thinking and problem solving when it comes to troubleshooting their circuits to make them work and to achieve the results they want.
d) How knowledgeable the students are in the subject matters. You must already possess the basic knowledge of logic circuits before you come to the lab session. So it would be prudent for you to go through your course materials, lab sheet and the NI Elvis User Manual beforehand.
e) The overall presentation of the report, how you present your data and draw appropriate conclusions on the results obtained.
2. The student version of the NI Elvis User manual is uploaded together with this TMA. Please make sure that you download it and go through it so that you will know how to use the equipment when you come to the lab.
3. Remember that the plagiarism rules apply for your lab report as well. All party caught involving in plagiarism will be awarded with ZERO mark!
4. You should always ensure the working space in the lab is tidy before, during and after the lab sessions.
