The following figure shows a logic gate circuit with inputs A and B and output Y. If the voltage waveforms of A, B and Y are as given, then the logic gate is

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

Solution

The truth table for the waveform is given by \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \cline { 2 - 4 } & A & B & Y \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }t_1-t_2 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }t_2-t_3 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }t_3-t_4 & 1 & 0 & 1 \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }t_4-t_5 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ \cline { 2 - 4 }t_5-t_6 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ \cline { 2 - 4 } & & & \end{array} The expression for the output is $Y=\overline{A \cdot B}$ The truth table of the given logic gate matches with NAND gate.
