Universal Logic Gates: NAND and NOR Gates

Video Lecture: NAND and NOR Gates

Watch the complete video lecture explaining the definitions, boolean expressions, and truth tables of NAND and NOR gates:

4. NAND Gate

“The NAND gate is a logic gate that produces a low output ($0$) only when all the inputs are high ($1$). It is formed by the combination of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate (NOT-AND).”

Boolean Expressions

  • Two Inputs: $X = \overline{A \cdot B}$
  • Three Inputs: $X = \overline{A \cdot B \cdot C}$
  • Four Inputs: $X = \overline{A \cdot B \cdot C \cdot D}$

5. NOR Gate

“The NOR gate is a logic gate that produces a high output ($1$) only when all of its inputs are low ($0$). It is formed by the combination of an OR gate followed by a NOT gate (NOT-OR).”

Boolean Expressions

  • Two Inputs: $X = \overline{A + B}$
  • Three Inputs: $X = \overline{A + B + C}$
  • Four Inputs: $X = \overline{A + B + C + D}$
