A logic probe is placed on the output of a gate and the display indicator is dim. A pulser is used on each of the input terminals, but the output indication does not change. What is wrong?

  • A.The dim indication on the logic probe indicates that the supply voltage is probably low.
  • B.The output of the gate appears to be open.
  • C.The dim indication is the result of a bad ground connection on the logic probe.
  • D.The gate is a tristate device.

Answer: B

Correct answer: The output of the gate appears to be open.

A logic probe shows a dim indication when the node is neither HIGH nor LOW but floating, and a floating node does not respond to pulses on the inputs because it is not connected to the gate's output at all. A bad ground would affect the probe's reading everywhere, not just here, and a tristate output would be driven when enabled.
