Design a Half adder circuit with truth table and logic diagrams. alt=''

b)Unit 2

A combinational circuit is defined by the following Boolean functions. Design circuit with a decoder and external gates: F1(x,y,z)=x′y′z′+xzF_1(x, y, z) = x'y'z' + xz F2(x,y,z)=xyz′+x′zF_2(x, y, z) = xyz' + x'z

Q.3
a)Unit 3

Explain the working of the master slave JK flip-flop.
