libLCS - A Logic Circuit Simulation Library in C++

The aim of this example it build and simulate a circuit which is equivalent to an XOR gate for two inputs. The constraints are that we can only use AND, OR and NOT gates to build it. Let a and b be inputs to our circuit. Let s be the output. Then, the boolean function for s is:

Hence, to generate s from a and b, we require two 2-input AND gates, one 2-input OR gate, and two NOT gates. The circuit diagram is as follows (the small circles/bubbles represent NOT gates):

The code to implement the above logic

#include <lcs/bus.h>
#include <lcs/not.h>
#include <lcs/and.h>
#include <lcs/or.h>
#include <lcs/tester.h>
#include <lcs/simul.h>
#include <lcs/changeMonitor.h>

int main()
{
    lcs::Bus<1> a, b, a_, b_, p1, p2, s;
    
    lcs::Not<> ng1(a_, a), ng2(b_, b);
    lcs::And<2> ag1(p1, (a,b_)), ag2(p2, (a_,b));
    lcs::Or<2> og(s, (p1,p2));

    lcs::ChangeMonitor<2> inputMonitor((a,b), "Input");
    lcs::ChangeMonitor<1> outputMonitor(s, "Output");

    lcs::Tester<2> tester((a,b));

    lcs::Simulation::setStopTime(1000);
    lcs::Simulation::start();

    return 0;
}

The output when the above program is compiled and run is as below. See this for information on interpreting the output.

At time: 0,     Input: 00
At time: 0,     Output: 0
At time: 200,   Input: 01
At time: 200,   Output: 1
At time: 300,   Input: 10
At time: 400,   Input: 11
At time: 400,   Output: 0
