What sort of "things" did you have in mind? If the inputs are tied together then the only inputs available to the NAND are both inputs "1" or both inputs "0". What does a NAND gate output for each case?LongApple said:
So, we are revisiting this topic! :) We thought you would learn about the NAND inverter from your previous thread, but I think you dropped out and didn't see it through to its conclusion.LongApple said:
To convert a logic diagram to only NAND gates, you need to first identify all the gates and their corresponding truth tables in the original diagram. Then, you can use De Morgan's laws to express each gate as a combination of NAND gates. Finally, you can simplify the resulting expression to use only NAND gates.
De Morgan's laws state that the complement of a logical expression can be expressed by interchanging the logical operators AND and OR, and complementing each term. In converting to NAND gates, these laws are used to express AND and OR gates as combinations of NAND gates.
Yes, any logic diagram can be converted to only NAND gates using De Morgan's laws and simplification techniques. However, the resulting circuit may not be the most efficient in terms of speed or cost.
One advantage of using only NAND gates in a circuit is that they are versatile and can be used to implement any logical function. Additionally, using only one type of gate can simplify the design and reduce the number of components needed.
One limitation of using only NAND gates is that the resulting circuit may not be the most efficient in terms of speed or cost. Additionally, some logical expressions may require more NAND gates compared to other types of gates, which can lead to a more complex circuit.
