Majority Vote Project
The Majority Vote Project required me to interpret a real life problem and develop a circuit. I designed a circuit for a voting machine that can allow four board members to cast their ballots and display whether a decision fails or passes.
Constraints:
In this project, you will use only AND, OR & Inverter logic gates, frequently referred to as AOI logic, to design, simulate, and build a Majority Vote voting machine that meets these design specifications.
Truth Table
In-order for a decision to be passed, 3 of 4 members must vote yes.
​
In the event of a tie, if the president votes yes, the decision passes.
​
(Slide 1)A truth table plays out all these scenarios and provides a logic expression (Slide 2) for the circuit to be based on.
Circuit Sketches
Slide 1 shows a rough draft of the circuit.
​
Slide 2 is the rough draft dawn in a Circuit Design Software (CDS) using Multisim.
​
Multisim allows the user to simulate a design and test if the system works.
Boolean Algebra
To simplify a design, Boolean algebra is used to simplify the logic expression that the circuit is based off of.
​
Simplifying circuits decreases the cost of the circuit because there are less parts.
