- #15You are given the two circuits as shown in Fig. 14.44. Show that circuit (a) acts as (b) acts as AND gate.

Ans : null (a) A and B are the inputs and Y is the output of the given circuit. The left half of the given figure acts as the N

Hence, the output of the N OR Gate =
This will be the input for the NOT Gate. Its output will be
= A + B
∴Y = A + B
Hence, this circuit functions as an OR Gate.
(b) A and B are the inputs and Y is the output of the given circuit. It can be observed from the following figure that the inputs of the right half N

Hence, the output of the given circuit can be written as:

Hence, this circuit functions as an AND Gate.
