Experiment Name: Study of NOT Gate using 74LS04 IC.
Objective:
To know about the fundamental concept of NOT gate and their role in digital circuits.
Verifying the truth table of an NOT gate.
Studying the relationship between the input and output signals in a NOT gate circuits.
Theory:
A NOT gate, also known as an inverter, is a fundamental digital logic gate. It has only one
input and one output. The basic function of NOT gate is to invert or complement the input
signal. If the input signal is 0 (false), the NOT gate outputs 1 (true), and vice versa.
The 74LS04 is a popular integrated circuit (IC) from the 74LS family, which is a series of
low-power Schottky logic ICs. Specifically, the 74LS04 IC is a hex inverter, meaning it
contains six individuals NOT gates. Each NOT gate inverts the input signal, producing an
output signal that is the logical complement of the input.
Truth Table:
Input Output
A B
0 1
1 0

Verification of Truth Table:
Input Output
A LED
0 ON
1 OFF
Result:
The function of NOT gate is, it Reverse its input and produce a output signal. So if the input
is A then the output will be C=Ā. The light will be on if the output is 1 and the light will be
off if the output is 0. So here, in first case Ō=1, in that case the LED will receive power,
that’s the LED is ON in first case. On the second one the input is 1 in input terminal, that’s
why the output is 0 and the LED is OFF.

Discussion:
The experiment conducted on the NOT gate provided valuable insights into its fundamental
operation in digital electronics. The NOT gate, also known as an inverter, demonstrated a
simple yet crucial function: it produces the opposite output to its input. When the input was
'1' (high), the NOT gate consistently produced '0' (low) at the output, and when the input
was '0' (low), the output was '1' (high). This behavior aligns perfectly with the logical NOT
operation, where a true statement becomes false and vice versa. Understanding the NOT
gate is fundamental because it forms the basis for more complex logic operations and
circuit designs. It is a fundamental building block in digital systems, enabling various
logical and arithmetic operations.
