  • Question
  • A logic probe is placed on the output of a gate and the display indicator is dim. A logic pulser is used on each of the input terminals, but the output indication does not change. What is wrong?


  • Options
  • A. The dim indication on the logic probe indicates that the supply voltage is probably low.
  • B. The output of the gate appears to be open.
  • C. The LOW indication is the result of a bad ground connection on the logic probe.
  • D. The gate is a tri-state device.

  • Correct Answer
  • The output of the gate appears to be open.
