The logic performed by the circuit shown in figure is equivalent to

The logic performed by the circuit shown in figure is equivalent to

  1. AND
  2. NOR
  3. OR
  4. NAND

Solution

All the gates used in the given configuration are NOR gates. Thus, the output can be found as follows-

Y=a+b=ab=ab

The output of the given configuration can also be verified by the following truth table:

a b Output from first gate Output from second gate Y
0 0 1 1 0
0 1 1 0 0
1 0 0 1 0
1 1 0 0 1

The calculation and the truth table clearly shows that the configuration represents AND gate.
