MSI Logic Circuits problems

3. What type of device is shown in the given figure, and what inputs (A3,A2,A1,A0) are required to produce the output levels as shown?
Options
A. A binary-to-decimal encoder; 0,1,1,1
B. A decimal-to-binary decoder; 1,1,1,0
C. A BCD-to-decimal decoder; 0,1,1,1
D. A decimal-to-BCD encoder; 1,1,1,0

4. What is an important attribute of the conditional signal assignment statement?
Options
A. Its tristate outputs
B. Its sequential evaluation
C. Its use of library components
D. Its fast activation times

5. The IEEE/ANSI symbol for a decoder has the internal designation bcd/dec. This means the decoder is a:
Options
A. decimal-to-BCD decoder with ten inputs and four outputs.
B. BCD-to-decimal decoder with ten inputs and four outputs.
C. decimal-to-BCD decoder with four inputs and ten outputs.
D. BCD-to-decimal decoder with four inputs and ten outputs.

6. What VHDL techniques are used to describe a priority encoder?
Options
A. Integer outputs and priority coding
B. Signal outputs and priority coding
C. Tristate outputs and priority coding
D. Variables and priority coding

7. In an AHDL BCD to binary code converter, how is multiplication by 10 accomplished?
Options
A. By using the shifting of bits
B. By using the library multiplication function
C. By using integer types
D. By using the multiplication operator

8. Refer to the display multiplexer given below. The MSD display is blank, while the LSD seems to be OK. The input and output lines to the 74157 and 7449 are checked with a scope and can be seen changing levels. The A input on the 74139 also changes; however, the 0 output on the 74139 is always LOW and the 1 output is always HIGH. The B and EN inputs on the 74139 are always LOW. What could cause the problem and what should be done to correct it?
Options
A. The 74139 is defective; replace it.
B. The EN pin on the 74139 could have a bad connection; check the connection.
C. The 74139 is defective and must be replaced; or the EN pin on the 74139 could have a bad connection, which should be checked.
D. The MSD display is bad; replace it.

9. For the input values (A0?A3, B0?B3, Data Select = 1) given for the circuit given below, what will be indicated on the displays?
Options
A. A = 0, B = 5
B. A = 5, B = 0
C. A = 6, B = 0
D. A = 0, B = 6

10. The circuit in Figure 9-8 is defective; data is not appearing on the output lines. A check with the scope shows data pulses on the serial data line and multiplex control lines, S0?S2; no parity error is indicated. A further check with a logic probe indicates that V_cc and ground appear to be present. What might be wrong with the circuit?
Options
A. The demultiplexer may be bad.
B. The parity checker is defective.
C. The parity generator may be bad.
D. The parity checker is defective, or the parity generator may be bad.
