COMBINATIONAL LOGIC PROJECT

combinational logic problems

A railway station is designed to control and record the movement of
low, medium and high trucks. A bank of light is on one side of the railway
track while another bank of three photocells is on the other(opposite)
side.

Using logic gates construct a circuit which will light a lamp only when
a medium truck passes, but will be unaffected by low and high trucks.

(This logical ‘1’ output can be used to drive a counter).This logic
gates may include:

Flip flop

NOT gate

NOR gate

NOT-Exclusive

OR gate

AND gate

A nice assignment

Now you have described it ..

How would you solve it ???

Hi asolondon

Your problem is verry similar to the mouse position detection (inside the mouse is a light source and 2 plastic disks wich obturate the light when you move the mouse ball in x, y directions- the problem is to find the x,y coordonates).

Or similar with the phase comparator problem (used in PLL's)...

Or similar whith the problem of synthessys of RS bistable using 2 NAND gates...

All those problems (and much more!!) had the solutions in asincron state machine theory!!!

The way I see the problem is a small truck will obstruct only the lower phototransistor, a medium truck will obstruct the lower two phototransistors and a large truck will obstruct all three.

In the schematic, I assumed that an unobstructed phototransistor will produce a HI.
So, three conditions have to be met simultanously for a HI output:
Lower two phototransistors output a LO and the upper one outputs a HI. Since these conditons have to be all true, you just need an AND and invert the signals from the lower two photodetectors. Any other combination is invalid.
