The output (Y) of the given logic implementation is similar to the output of an/a gate. [figure]
- OR
- NOR
- AND
- NAND
Answer
(2) NOR
Solution
Upper gate (NOR) with inputs A, B: Y1 = A + B
Lower gate (NAND) with inputs B, A: Y2 = A B
Final AND gate: Y = Y1 Y2 = A + B A B = ( A B)( A + B)
Y = A B + A B = A B = A + B
This is the output of a NOR gate.
