Gate Cascade Simulator

← Back to Unit 2

Description

Explore multi-level logic circuits and observe signal propagation through cascaded gates. Toggle inputs to see how signals flow through each stage.

Learning Objectives

Bloom Level: Analyze (L4)

After using this MicroSim, students will be able to:

  • ✓ Trace signal propagation through multi-level circuits
  • ✓ Analyze how intermediate gate outputs affect final results
  • ✓ Compare different circuit implementations

Circuits Included

  1. (A AND B) OR C — Two-level AND-OR
  2. A AND (B OR C) — Two-level OR-AND
  3. (A NAND B) AND C — NAND cascade
  4. NOT(A) OR (B AND C) — Three gates
  5. (A XOR B) AND C — XOR cascade

How to Use

  1. Select a circuit from the dropdown
  2. Click the A, B, C toggles to change input values
  3. Observe how signals propagate through each gate
  4. Note the color coding: green for 1, gray for 0
