A. A dropping resistor must be used on the CMOS 12 V supply to reduce it to 5 V for the TTL.
B. As long as the CMOS supply voltage is 5 V, they can be interfaced; however, the fan-out of the TTL is limited to five CMOS gates.
C. A 5 V Zener diode must be placed across the inputs of the TTL gates in order to protect them from the higher output voltages of the CMOS gates.
D. A pull-up resistor must be used between the TTL output-CMOS input node and Vcc; the value of RP will depend on the number of CMOS gates connected to the node.
Correct Answer
A pull-up resistor must be used between the TTL output-CMOS input node and Vcc; the value of RP will depend on the number of CMOS gates connected to the node.

1. A positive edge-triggered J-K flip-flop is used to produce a two-phase clock. However, when the circuit is operated it produces erratic results. Close examination with a scope reveals the presence of glitches. What causes the glitches, and how might the problem be corrected?
Options
A. The PRESET and CLEAR terminals may have been left floating; they should be properly terminated if not being used.
B. The problem is caused by a race condition between the J and K inputs; an inverter should be inserted in one of the terminals to correct the problem.
C. A race condition exists between the Q and Q outputs to the AND gate; the AND gate should be replaced with a NAND gate.
D. A race condition exists between the clock and the outputs of the flip-flop feeding the AND gate; replace the flip-flop with a negative edge-triggered J-K Flip-Flop.
Correct Answer: A race condition exists between the clock and the outputs of the flip-flop feeding the AND gate; replace the flip-flop with a negative edge-triggered J-K Flip-Flop.
2. What type of circuit is represented in the given figure, and which statement best describes its operation?
Options
A. It is a tristate inverter. When the ENABLE input is HIGH, the output is effectively an open circuit?it is neither LOW nor HIGH.
B. It is a programmable inverter. It can be programmed to function as either an active LOW or an active HIGH inverter.
C. It is an active LOW buffer, which can be turned on and off by the ENABLE input.
