    Need help with homework

    I need help designing a gate function generator for a lab experiment and am having problems doing so is there somewhere i can look for an example or one that is already done?This is the problem i am trying to solve.
    implement a chip function detector that is able to
    detect if the tested chip has the function of NAND (7400), OR(7432), AND(7408) or
    XOR (7486) gates.
    I can either wire it on a breadboard with some ics or i can use the PLD quartus 2 that we have available.

    hi,
    The first thing you should do is work out the Truth table for each of those gates.

    They all have two inputs and one output.

    Call the inputs A and B, the output X [ or C of you prefer]

    The OR gate is easy.

    A B X
    0 0 0
    1 0 1
    0 1 1
    1 1 1

    You do the others yourself and post your tables, we will give more Hints.

    Are you allowed to use µpc or other programmable devices, or are you strictly bounded to logic gates, counters, flipflops and so on?

    74xx series logic ICs are extremely old. I first learned about DTL logic when RTL logic ICs became obsolete.
    I threw away my TTL cookbook about 32 years ago and have used Cmos logic ICs ever since.
    Why don't teachers use newer Cmos?

    Since I've being there as a student, I have the grand answer to that:
    Students that does kill cmos ic's by static electricity makes an expenditure over time. And to reduce the cost, the school decides to go for TTL ic's instead, since the chance is less that a student kill it compared to a cmos.

    My teacher said so

    I have used thousands of Cmos logic ICs without a grounding wrist-strap and in winter in my part of Canada the static electricity is awful. Not one IC was damaged.

    I think students "blow Up" electrolytic capacitors and ICs by connnecting the power supply polarity backwards ON PURPOSE!
