the inversion occurs in the B input leg; but in actualuse, it could occur in any leg of the AND gate.The EXCLUSIVE OR operation differs from theOR operation in the case where a signal is present atevery input terminal. In the OR, an output is produced;in the EXCLUSIVE OR, no output is produced. In theswitching circuit shown, both switches cannot beclosed at the same time; but in actual computercircuitry, this may not be the case. The accompanyingtruth tables and block diagrams show two possiblecircuit configurations. In each case the same finalresults are obtained, but by different methods.Basic Logic DiagramsBasic logic diagrams are used to show theoperation of a particular unit or component. Basiclogic symbols are shown in their proper relationshipso as to show operation only in the most simplifiedform possible. Figure 6-24 shows a basic logicdiagram for a serial subtractor. The operation of theunit is described briefly in the next paragraph.In the basic subtractor in figure 6-24, assume youwant to subtract binary 011 (decimal 1) from binary100 (decimal 4). At time Io, the 0 input at A and 1 inputat B of inhibitor I1results in a 0 output from inhibitorI1and a 1 output from inhibitor I2. The 0 output fromI1and the 1 output from I2are applied to OR gate G1,producing a 1 output from G1. The 1 output from I2isalso applied to the delay line. The I output from G1along with the 0 output from the delay line produces1 output from I3. The 1 input from G1and the 0 inputfrom the delay line produce a 0 output from inhibitorI4. The 0 output from L and the 1 output from I3areapplied to OR gate G2producing a 1 output.At time t1the 0 inputs on the A and B input linesof I1produce 0 outputs from I1and I2. The 0 inputs onboth input lines of OR gate G1result in a 0 output fromG1. The I input applied to the delay line at time toemerges (1 bit time delay) and is now applied to theinhibit line of 13 producing an 0 output from I3. The 1output from the delay line is also applied to inhibitorI4, and along with the 0 output from G1produces a 1output from I4. The I4output is recycled back into thedelay line, and also applied to OR gate G2. As a resultof the 0 and 1 inputs from I3, and I4, OR gate G2produces a 1 output.At time t2, the 1 input on the A line and the 0 inputon the B line of I1produce a 1 output from I1and a 0output from I2. These outputs applied to OR gate G1produce a 1 output from G1, which is applied to 13 andI4. The delay line now produces a 1 output (recycledin at time t1), which is applied to I3and I4. The 1 outputfrom the delay line along with the 1 output from G1produces a 0 output from I3. The 1 output from G1along with the 1 output from the delay line producesa 0 output from I4. With 0 outputs from I3 and I4, ORgate G2produces a 0 output.Detailed Logic DiagramsDetailed logic diagrams show all logic functionsof the equipment concerned. In addition, they alsoinclude such information as socket locations, pinnumbers, and test points to help in troubleshooting.The detailed logic diagram for a complete unit mayconsist of many separate sheets, as shown in the noteon the sample sheet in figure 6-25.All input lines shown on each sheet of a detailedlogic diagram are tagged to show the origin of theinputs. Likewise, all output lines are tagged to showFigure 6-24.—Serial subtractor, basic logic diagrams.6-24
