Question : 19
Total: 19
Write the truth table for the circuits given in figure consisting of NOR gates only. Identify the logic operations (OR, AND, NOT) performed by the two circuits.

Solution:  
Boolean expression for logic circuit (a)

Here the given NOR gate with short circuit input is acting as NOT gate.
Its truth table is
A Y
0 1
1 0

Boolean expression for logic circuit (b)

So, output by De-Morgan’s theorem, Y =
(
A
+
B
)
=
A
.
B
= AB
Hence, the logic circuit acts like AND gate.
Its truth table is
A B Y
00 0
01 0
1 0 0
1 1 1
