Experiment 2
NOR and NAND GATES
OBJECTIVE
The student will be able to do the following:a. Determine the logic operations of NAND and NOR gates.b. Connect basic logic gates to produce NAND and NOR gates.c. Fill-up truth tables of circuit equation and determine itsinput/output logic combinations.Logic Operations
NAND GATE.
The gate is a contraction of AND-NOT. The output ishigh when both inputs are low and any one of the input is low .The output islow level when both inputs are high.
NOR GATE.
The NOR gate is a contraction of OR-NOT. The outputis high when both inputs are low. The output is low when one or both inputsare high.All other gates/functions can be implemented by NOR or NAND gates. Sothey are called universal gates. In fact, in chips, entire logic maybe built usingonly NAND (or NOR) gates.Example: NOT or Inverter -- NAND with inputs shorted.AND -- NAND followed by a NOT (using NAND).OR -- giving inverted inputs to NAND gate.
