Draw Logic Gates
• When Boolean expression is obtained, we
can draw logic gates
• Example:
– F1 = xyz’ (use three input AND gate)

Universal Gates: NAND & NOR
• Gate AND/OR/NOT is enough to build any
Boolean function
• Even though, other gates is also used because:
– Very useful (no choice)
– Save transistor’s number
– Self sufficient (can build any gate from it)
NAND/NOR: save, self sufficient
XOR: useful (e.g. execute parity bit)

NAND Gate
• NAND gate is self sufficient (i.e.can build
any gate from it)
• Can be used for building AND/OR/NOT
gate
• Build NOT gate using NAND gate

Build using NAND gate
• It is not impossible to build Boolean
expression using NAND gates
Steps
– Obtain sum-of-product Boolean expression
• E.g: F3 = xy’ +x’z
– Use DeMorgan theorem to get expression using
two level NAND gate
• E.g: F3 = xy’ +x’z
= (xy’+x’z)”
= ((xy’)’.(x’z)’)’

Build using NOR gate
• It is not impossible to build Boolean
expression using NOR gates
Steps
– Obtain product-of-sum Boolean expression
• E.g: F6 = (x+y’).(x’+z)
– Use DeMorgan theorem to get expression using
two level NAND gate
• E.g: F3 = (x+y’).(x’+z)
=((x+y’).(x’+z))’’
= ((x+y’)+(x’+z)’)’

Positive & Negative Logic
• In logic gate, most of the time
– H (High Voltage, 5V) = logic 1
– L (Low Voltage, 0V) = logic 0
• This is called positive logic
• However, if it is inverted, it is negative logic
– H (High Voltage, 5V) = logic 0
– L (Low Voltage, 0V) = logic 1
• Depends, some similar gate need different
Boolean function
25. 25MOHD. YAMANI IDRIS/ NOORZAILY MOHAMED NOOR
Positive & Negative Logic
• Signal which is set to logic 1 is said to be
active and true
• Signal which is set to logic 0 is said to be
not active and false
• The name of active high signal is always
written in non-compliment form
• The name of active low signal is always
written in non-compliment form
