Answer all questions in this section.
0 1 A toy manufacturer is designing a two-tone siren for use in small battery-operated
cars.
Figure 1 shows design Option 1.
Option 1 uses three separate signal generators feeding into a logic sub-system.
The signal generators produce logic-compatible 9 V square waves of frequencies
1024 Hz, 1 Hz and 512 Hz.
Figure 1
The waveforms shown are not to scale.
0 1 . 1 Explain how the logic level applied at B in Figure 1 determines the output frequency
at Q.

0 1 . 2 Write the Boolean algebra expression for output Q in terms of the inputs A, B and C.
Use only the logic operations shown in Figure 1.

0 1 . 3 Option 1 is tested by replacing the 1 Hz signal generator with a manual input. box
The manual input is provided by the combination of a push-to-make switch
and a 10 kΩ resistor.
The combination produces the following voltages at its output:
• 0 V when the switch is not pressed
• 9 V when the switch is pressed.
Figure 2 shows the symbol for the push-to-make switch.

Complete Figure 3 to show how this switch and the 10 kΩ resistor are connected.
Label the output Vout.
You do not need to add details taken from Figure 1.
