Trying to find out information on NAND and NOR logic gates and which, if any, may be less reliable at higher speeds. Supposedly this would have something to do with propagation delays and triggering times.
NAND and NOR are two types of logic gates used in digital circuits to perform logical operations. The main difference between them is that NAND gate outputs a LOW signal only when all inputs are HIGH, while NOR gate outputs a HIGH signal only when all inputs are LOW.
NAND and NOR gates have different propagation delays, which is the time taken for the output to change in response to a change in input. At higher speeds, NAND gates are less reliable as their propagation delay is longer compared to NOR gates.
NAND gates have a more complex internal structure compared to NOR gates, which results in longer propagation delays. This can lead to timing issues and errors in the output at higher speeds, making NAND gate less reliable.
Yes, NOR gates have a simpler internal structure and shorter propagation delays, making them more reliable at higher speeds. They are also less prone to noise interference, making them suitable for high-speed applications.
No, NAND and NOR gates have different functionalities and are not interchangeable. While NOR gates may be more reliable at higher speeds, NAND gates have other advantages such as being more compact and using fewer transistors, making them suitable for certain applications.
