    Write the truth table for a NAND gate connected as given in Fig. 14.45.



    Hence identify the exact logic operation carried out by this circuit.
    Ans : A acts as the two inputs of the NAND gate and Y is the output, as shown in the following figure.



    Hence, the output can be written as:



    The truth table for equation (i) can be drawn as:








    A

    Y
