SUMMARY

Building a NOT gate using only AND and OR gates is not possible without incorporating a negation element. Participants in the discussion confirmed that while NAND and NOR gates can easily create a NOT function, traditional AND and OR gates lack the necessary negation capability. This conclusion highlights the fundamental limitations of using only these two types of gates for constructing a NOT gate.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of basic logic gates: AND, OR
  • Knowledge of digital circuit design principles
  • Familiarity with negation in logic circuits
  • Concept of universal gates: NAND and NOR
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the functionality of NAND and NOR gates in digital logic
  • Explore how to implement basic logic gates in circuit design software
  • Learn about the concept of universal gates and their applications
  • Study the principles of negation in digital circuits
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, digital circuit designers, and anyone interested in understanding the limitations of basic logic gates in circuit construction.

Is it possible to building one from using AND and OR gates, cause I've been trying and now I'm wondering if it's even possible

no, you're going to have to bring negation in there somewhere. If you had a nand or a nor it's trivial but I don't see how it can be done with elements that provide no negation.
 
Righto, thanks for confirming that
