ah interesting never seen it

perhaps its not part of the syllabus

thanks for that

no worries..

its not part of the syllabus.

But thats not saying that they can't put an XOR and a NOT next to each other and ask you to do a truth table - they just can't ask you to identify the above truth table as an XNOR gate.

Unfortunately i gotta agree with winston
The syllabus says

Electronic circuits to perform standard software operations
logic gates, including:
AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR
truth tables
circuit design steps
identify inputs and outputs
identify required components
check solution with a truth table
evaluate the circuit design
specialty circuits, including:
half adder
full adder
flip-flops as a memory store

Means you gotta know all the gates, their truth tables, how to use them, and how to construct flipflips and adders.

I think you also need to learn how full adders are combined to make an 8 bit calculation....i think not sure

I think im fine with the logic gates at the moment.

Though converting binary and shit is confusing :/
