Question
Physics Question on Semiconductor electronics: materials, devices and simple circuits
To get an OR gate from a NAND gate, we need
A
Only two NAND gates
B
Two NOT gates obtained from NAND gates and one NAND gate
C
Four NAND gates and two AND gates obtained from NAND gates
D
None of the above
Answer
Two NOT gates obtained from NAND gates and one NAND gate
Explanation
Solution
To obtain OR gate from NAND gates we will use two NOT gates obtained from NAND gates and one NAND gate as shown in adjoining figure. Boolean expression is
Y=Aˉ⋅Bˉ=Aˉ+Bˉ=A+B
Which is of OR gate.
