AI Thread Summary
Designing an XOR gate using 2 NAND gates, 1 NOR gate, and 3 inverters is feasible. The XOR function can be expressed as (A OR B) AND ~(A AND B). By utilizing the properties of NOR and NAND gates, the required gates can be arranged to achieve the XOR output. The key is to correctly apply the logic of negation and combination of the gates. This method effectively utilizes the specified gates to construct the desired XOR functionality.

I need to design an XOR with 2 NANDS, 1 NOR, and 3 inverters. Is it possible? I can't seem to find how to do it now.
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Consider that the XOR of A and B can be written as:
(A OR B) AND ~(A AND B)

And recall that NOR is ~(OR) and that NAND is ~(AND) (NOT OR and NOT AND)

And that ~(~(A)) is just A

Then you can use up that exact quantity and type of gate!

Thread '3-terminal device external modeling'

Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...

Thread 'Question about the voltage between two charged capacitors'

suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
