SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on implementing circuits using only NAND and NOR gates, specifically converting existing logic diagrams that utilize AND and OR gates. Participants emphasize the application of De Morgan's Law and principles such as double negation to facilitate this conversion. Additionally, Boolean Algebra is highlighted as a crucial resource for understanding these transformations. The conversation provides a clear pathway for circuit design using fundamental logic gates.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of logic gates: NAND, NOR, AND, OR
  • Familiarity with De Morgan's Law
  • Basic knowledge of Boolean Algebra
  • Ability to interpret truth tables and Karnaugh maps
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of De Morgan's Law in circuit design
  • Learn how to construct truth tables for various logic circuits
  • Explore Karnaugh maps for simplifying Boolean expressions
  • Investigate the principles of double negation in logic
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, circuit designers, and anyone interested in digital logic design will benefit from this discussion, particularly those looking to deepen their understanding of NAND and NOR gate implementations.

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.
