Starting electronics<br />

So, the Boolean statement:<br />

also expresses the NAND gate.<br />

In other words:<br />

Interesting!<br />

NOR from AND and NOT<br />

And, just for the sake of completion, we can also work out<br />

that a NOR gate can be created by inverting the inputs of an<br />

AND gate.<br />

As we’ve done so far in this book, we’ll do this first experimentally,<br />

building up the circuit and checking results. Then<br />

we’ll do it mathematically.<br />

Figure 10.43 shows a circuit we can use to do this. It’s basically<br />

a two input AND gate, the inputs of which have been<br />

inverted by NOT gates.<br />

Figure 10.44 shows a possible breadboard layout you can follow<br />

to build the experimental circuit on, while Figure 10.45<br />

is an uncompleted truth table for you to complete with your<br />

results, and Figure 10.46 is the complete truth table whose<br />

results should match yours.<br />
