Question 2 |
In the circuit shown below, a positive edge-triggered D Flip-Flop is used for sampling input
data D_{in} using clock CK. The XOR gate outputs 3.3 volts for logic HIGH and 0 volts for
logic LOW levels. The data bit and clock periods are equal and the value of \Delta T/T_{CK} = 0.15 ,
where the parameters \Delta T and T_{CK} are shown in the figure. Assume that the Flip-Flop and the XOR gate are ideal.
If the probability of input data bit ( D_{in}) transition in each clock period is 0.3, the average value (in volts, accurate to two decimal places) of the voltage at node X , is _______.

0.62 | |
0.12 | |

Question 2 Explanation:

\begin{aligned} V_{X(\mathrm{avg})} &=\left[0.3 \times 3.3\left(1-\frac{\Delta T}{T_{C K}}\right)\right]+[0.7 \times 0] \mathrm{V} \\ &=0.3 \times 3.3 \times(1-0.15) \mathrm{V} \\ &=0.3 \times 3.3 \times 0.85 \mathrm{V}=0.8415 \mathrm{V} \end{aligned}
Question 3 |
A traffic signal cycles from GREEN to YELLOW, YELLOW to RED and RED to GREEN.
In each cycle, GREEN is turned on for 70 seconds, YELLOW is turned on for
5 seconds and the RED is turned on for 75 seconds. This traffic light has to be implemented
using a finite state machine (FSM). The only input to this FSM is a clock of 5 second period.
The minimum number of flip-flops required to implement this FSM is _______.

Question 4 Explanation:
By observing the given state diagram, it is clear
that the FSM can be used to detect the sequence

A finite state machine (FSM) is implemented using the D flip-flops A and B, and logic gates, as shown in the figure below. The four possible states of the FSM are Q_{A}Q{B}=00,01,10 and 11.
Assume that X_{1N} is held at a constant logic level throughout the operation of the FSM. When the FSM is initialized to the state Q_{A}Q_{B}=00 and clocked, after a few clock cycles, it starts cycling through

Question 5 Explanation:
In the given diagram,
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=\overline{Q_{A} X_{I N}}
For X_{I N}=0:
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=1

So, for X_{I N}=0, Number of possible states =2
For X_{I N}=1
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=\bar{Q}_{A}

So, for X_{IN}=1 of possible states = 3
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=\overline{Q_{A} X_{I N}}
For X_{I N}=0:
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=1

So, for X_{I N}=0, Number of possible states =2
For X_{I N}=1
D_{A}=Q_{A} \oplus Q_{B} \text { and } D_{B}=\bar{Q}_{A}

So, for X_{IN}=1 of possible states = 3
