Assignment Due

4 p.m., Friday, 8 December 2023. You must submit the completed assignment to the ACS11001

Blackboard page as a single PDF document via the Assignment link in the Assessment folder. You must

include ONLY your registration number on the title page.

Feedback

Detailed mark sheets and written feedback will be provided no later than Friday 12 January 2024. The

mark sheet at the end of this document provides a guide to what areas the feedback will be provided

on. Note that marks are provisional and may be subject to change, for example as a result of unfair

means.

Unfair Means

This is an individual assignment. The use of unfair means, e.g. plagiarism and collusion, is strictly

forbidden. Students are warned that the piece of work affected may be given a grade of zero, which

in some cases will entail failure of the module. Electronic software (e.g. Turnitin) may be used to check

for unfair means.

You should thoroughly read and understand the information at

https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/ssid/unfair-means/index, including the University’s guidance to students

on unfair means. If you are at all unsure about what this means and the implications for your work,

then you should consult the module leader.

Extenuating Circumstances

Applications for extensions to the submission date must be made by submitting an extenuating

circumstances form (google form available in the student handbook).

Please note that extensions will only be granted if a student cannot reasonably submit the assignment

within the original deadline and can provide a valid reason supported by appropriate evidence.

Typically extensions will only be granted in the event of medical and/or personal circumstances

beyond the control of the student and requests for extensions should be made as early as is feasibly

possible. Failure to have backed-up your data and poor planning so that everything is being done at

the last minute are not valid reasons.

Submission Format

The assignment should be submitted as a single PDF document. There is no page limit or particular

requirements for font types, size, page margins and line spacing. However, it is suggested that you use

2

either Times New Roman or Calibri and 11-point type with at least 2cm margins at the top and bottom

of the page and 1.5 line spacing.

All diagrams (e.g. truth table, Karnaugh map, logic circuit) must be professionally produced, not hand

drawn. You may use online tools e.g. an online K-map solver, although you are encouraged to solve

for minimal expressions by drawing the map, grouping cells and finding the minimal terms yourself as

this will stand you in good stead for answering questions requiring the use of the Karnaugh map

technique in the invigilated examination. Ensure that all diagrams are neat and appropriately labelled.

Help

This document should provide all the information that is required to complete this assignment. It is

not expected that you should need to ask further questions. This is an assessment so you should not

discuss solutions with or seek help from others including the module instructors and Graduate

Teaching Assistants. However, if you feel that any part of this document is not clear, you may post

your question on the Discussion Board on Blackboard. Remember that you need to clearly present the

procedure that you followed to solve every question of the assignment. This is part of what you are

being assessed on besides your knowledge and understanding of the module and problem-solving

skills.

Marking Criteria

See attached marking criteria – this is the mark sheet that will be used to assess the assignment. The

mark sheet indicates some of the factors that will be used in assessing the assignment.

Penalties for Late Submission

Late submissions will incur the usual penalties of a 5% reduction in the mark for every working day (or

part thereof) that the assignment is late and a mark of zero for submission more than 5 working days

late.

Assignment Questions (total of 2 questions)

Question 1

You are working as an embedded systems engineer and have been tasked to design a burglar alarm

system for a storeroom in a house. Inside the storeroom, there is a steel safe where the house owner

keeps their money, jewellery and important documents. The logic circuit that you will design should

have between two to 5 input lines and one output line that activates the alarm when it is at logic 1.

The inputs indicate the state of the sensors which you will select and briefly describe their functions.

(i) Write the logical statements describing the conditions of the inputs that would activate

the alarm.

(ii) Assign a meaningful letter to each input variable in the statement e.g. D for storeroom

door.

(iii) Write a Boolean expression in a minimal form for the alarm activation.

(iv) Using an online tool (e.g. https://logic.ly/demo/samples) draw the logic circuit that

implements the expression found.

[10 marks]

Question 2

Figure Q2a below shows a counting process based on the binary number system. A detection system

based on an infrared transmitter-receiver (not shown) causes pulses to be sent to the system when

the receiver does not detect the transmitted pulse. Each time a pulse is received, the count increases.

The binary number produced is sent to a decoder to produce signals that will control the display of

the count as a decimal digit on the LED screen. The screen can only show a maximum of 9 balls that

have fallen into the box.

You are tasked to modify the system in two ways:

(i) The LED screen is to display the count using the hexadecimal digits (0 – F) instead of the

decimal digits (0 – 9). The hexadecimal digits should be displayed as shown in Figure 2b.

(ii) The maximum count is to be increased to 24 balls. This means you need a LED screen with

two digits. The decoder shown in Figure 2b must be modified.

Design the decoder to convert its input, the binary codes, to the outputs required to drive a two-digit

LED screen. Besides the input ABCD (A is the most significant bit and complements for all input

variables are not available), the decoder has a control signal S (not shown in the figures below) which

is normally high for the display to turn on. When it goes low, the display turns off.

Provide a brief explanation of your overall design concept. You should illustrate your design, based on

the diagrams provided, using high-level schematics, e.g. a block diagram with blocks for each

component. Label them clearly including their inputs and outputs.

State whether you are using positive or negative logic. Using appropriate methods, for example, truth

table and Karnaugh map, find the minimal logic expressions for the outputs of the decoder. You do

4

not need to show the internal structure of the decoder (i.e., you do not need to show the logic gate

implementation of the decoder).

Evaluate the designed system's current function and limitations, as well as how robust the system is

to future extensions. One possible future extension would be the increase in maximum balls to be

counted to 300, but you are encouraged to consider other possibilities.

Question 2

A seven-segment display is widely used in electronic devices such as digital clocks, electronic meters

and others that display numerical information. You are asked to design a HEX-to-7-segment decoder.

Besides the input WXYZ (W is the most significant bit and complements for all input variables are not

available), the decoder has a control signal S (not shown in the schematic below) which is normally
