SUMMARY
To create an inverter using a 2-input NAND gate, connect both inputs of the NAND gate together. This configuration results in the desired inverter functionality, where the output is the logical negation of the input. The truth table confirms that when both inputs are tied, the NAND gate behaves as an inverter, producing a high output when the input is low and vice versa. This method utilizes the inherent properties of the NAND gate to achieve the inverter design without additional components.
