Lab 6: Read-Only Memory

The in-lab and homework portions of lab 6 will come from the published version of the lab manual. The pre-lab is new. There is also an additional circuit using FIFO memory.

Lab Manual Errata

The following are known errors in the lab manual corresponding to this lab.

• Page 88, question 7 should say “Use the Quine-McCluskey method to derive a minimum SOP expression for Q4(A,B,C,D,E).”
• Page 89, question 9 should say “Use the Quine-McCluskey method to drive a minimum SOP expression for Q3(A,B,C,D,E).”
• Lab homework questions 2-4. Derive minimum SOP or minimum POS expressions for F1, F2, and F3. (It is OK to derive a minimum expression that is neither SOP nor POS for question 1 only.)
• Lab homework questions 10-12. Derive minimum SOP or minimum POS expressions for F_red, F_green, and F_blue.
