EXCLUSIVE OR GATE
OBJECTIVE
The student will be able to do the following:
Logic Operations

EXCLUSIVE-NOR GATE. The gate is just a complement of
Exclusive-OR and performs the function:
Note of the bubble inserted at the end of XOR symbol at the right of
Figure 2. The output of the XOR is just negated. Defining it, XNOR can
only obtain a logic-1 output if and only if the value of x and y inputs are
the same; otherwise, the value will be logic-0.
EQUIPMENT
PROCEDURE
1. Based from the pin assignments (Figure 3A) of the diagram below, plot
the circuit using 7486 XOR gate in the breadboard.
