Nor Gate As Universal Gate:: Power Supply, IC 7400, 7402, LED

1. NOR and NAND gates can act as universal gates by realizing all basic logic functions. 2. A NOR gate followed by an inverter acts as a NOT gate. Connecting the inputs of two NOR gates realizes an OR gate. Connecting the outputs of two NOR gates to the inputs of a third NOR gate realizes an AND gate. 3. Similarly, a NAND gate alone acts as a NOT gate. Connecting NAND gates in specific configurations realizes OR and AND gates. 4. The experiment aims to realize basic logic functions using only NAND and NOR gates to demonstrate their universal properties. The procedure is to correctly connect the given circuit components and verify the implementation.

Title: Realization of logic functions with the help of universal gates NAND and
NOR Gate

Apparatus: Power Supply, IC 7400, 7402, LED.

Theory:

Introduction:

Logic gates are electronic circuits which perform logical functions on one or more
inputs to produce one output. There are seven logic gates. When all the input
combinations of a logic gate are written in a series and their corresponding outputs
written along them, then this input/ output combination is called Truth Table.

Nor gate as Universal Gate:


NOR gate is actually a combination of two logic gates: OR gate followed by NOT
gate. So its output is complement of the output of an OR gate.This gate can have
minimum two inputs, output is always one. By using only NOR gates, we can realize
all logic functions: AND, OR, NOT, Ex-OR, Ex-NOR, NAND. So this gate is also
called universal gate.

1. NOR as Universal gate:

a. NOR as NOT

When 2 i/p of NOR gate are shorted then we get NOT. It has the same truth
table as that of inverter itself.

Input (A) Output ~(A)


0 1
1 0

b. NOR as OR

When the NOR gate is connected to NOR gate with both i/p shorted, we
get OR gate & it has o/p as Y=A+B

Input (A) Input (B) Output A OR B


0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
c. NOR as AND

When the 2 NOR gate with shorted i/p are given to the 3rd NOR gate, the
o/p of 3rd NOR gate is Y=A.B

Input (A) Input (B) Output A AND B


0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1

2. NAND as Universal gate:


NAND gate is actually a combination of two logic gates i.e. AND gate followed
by NOT gate. So its output is complement of the output of an AND gate.This
gate can have minimum two inputs. By using only NAND gates, we can
realize all logic functions: AND, OR, NOT, Ex-OR, Ex-NOR, NOR. So this
gate is also called as universal gate.

By shorting i/p of NAND gate, we can use this as NOT gate. It has same truth
table as that of NOT gate

Input (A) Output ~(A)


0 1
1 0

b. NAND as OR

The two NAND gate with shorted i/p when given to 3rd NAND gate as i/p
then this circuit enables the outcomes of OR gate

Input (A) Input (B) Output A OR B


0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1

c. NAND as AND

When NAND gate is connected to short circuited i/p of other NAND gate,
we obtained AND gate.
