Experiment # 3: Parity Bit Checker and Generator
Objective:
■ To design and implement an even parity Generator and even parity checker
using XOR gates. (IC-7486).
Required Components:
1. IC 7486 × 1

Building an even parity checker using XOR Gates for 4-bit Data:
Procedure:
■ Construct the Circuits of both the parity bit generator and checker on the
breadboard.
■ Remember that each IC’s pin 14 is connected to the “+5V” position of the
DC Power Supply of AT-700, and pin 7 is connected to the “GND”
position.
■ Connect the inputs to the Data switches and outputs to any position of the
LED Display.
Result:
Complete both of the following truth tables.
