To implement a circuit using only NAND and NOR gates, one can convert existing logic diagrams that utilize AND and OR gates by applying De Morgan's Law and principles such as double negation. This involves transforming the original logic expressions into their equivalent forms using Boolean algebra. The process typically includes creating a truth table and a Karnaugh map to simplify the logic before conversion. Understanding these fundamental concepts is crucial for successfully implementing the desired circuit. Proper application of these methods allows for effective circuit design using only NAND and NOR gates.

Truth table, Karnaugh map, reduced SOP form equation, gates.
 
hi,

Sorry i didn't cleared my question.. I am feeling stupid..

Actually i wanted to ask that if a logic diagram is already implemented with AND and OR gates, then how to convert it or implement it with Nand and Nor gates??

You use De Morgan's Law and principals like double negation to translate one into another. Boolean Algebra has some more info.
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
