SUMMARY

It is indeed possible to construct OR and NOR gates using AND, NAND, and NOT gates. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding truth tables for each gate type and applying DeMorgan's Law to facilitate the conversion process. Participants recommend reviewing these foundational concepts to clarify the relationships between the gates and their logical functions.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of logic gate functions: AND, NAND, OR, NOR, NOT
  • Familiarity with truth tables for logical operations
  • Knowledge of DeMorgan's Law in digital logic
  • Basic principles of electronic circuit design
NEXT STEPS
  • Review truth tables for AND, NAND, OR, and NOR gates
  • Study DeMorgan's Law and its applications in logic design
  • Explore circuit design techniques for implementing logic gates
  • Practice constructing complex logic circuits using simulation tools
USEFUL FOR

Electronics students, digital circuit designers, and anyone interested in understanding the construction and functionality of basic logic gates.

Is it possible to make an OR / NOR gate from AND / NAND / NOT gates? If so, how?

Sorry for the simple question but I'm a little confused...
