Electronics and logic gate question

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around converting truth tables into logic gate circuits using only NAND gates. The user seeks guidance on how to derive a Boolean expression from a truth table and then factorize it to utilize only NAND gates. It is noted that both NAND and NOR gates are versatile for such conversions. A question is raised about the context of the problem, whether it is for a specific application or an academic exercise. The conversation emphasizes the flexibility of NAND gates in circuit design.

I know this is probably in the wrong board, but.


I'v just been looking into some Boolean algebra to convert truth tables into a set of logic gates representing a circuit.

If i were attempting to represent a certain truth table, but i was limited to ONLY using NAND gates. (their the only one's i can find). How would i go about doing this.

IM assuming i get a boolean expression for the truth table, and then attempt to factorize it into a certain form which uses only NAND gates. BUt I am not exactly sure how to proceed.

You can also do this with NOR gates, they are both very flexible.

Is this for a particular application, or is it a classroom problem?

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
