- #16Write 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 
0
