Electronics and logic gate question

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on converting truth tables into logic gate representations using only NAND gates. The user seeks guidance on deriving a Boolean expression from a truth table and then factorizing it to utilize solely NAND gates. The conversation highlights the flexibility of NAND and NOR gates in circuit design, emphasizing their capability to represent any Boolean function. Key resources provided include links to HyperPhysics for further understanding of NAND gate applications and De Morgan's Theorems.

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?
