AI Thread Summary
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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Question about bonding ground and neutral'

I am not an electrical engineering student, but a lowly apprentice electrician. I learn both on the job and also take classes for my apprenticeship. I recently wired my first transformer and I understand that the neutral and ground are bonded together in the transformer or in the service. What I don't understand is, if the neutral is a current carrying conductor, which is then bonded to the ground conductor, why does current only flow back to its source and not on the ground path...
