Q. 14.14 Write the truth table for the circuit given in Fig. 14.39 below consisting of NOR gates and identify the logic operation (OR, AND, NOT) that this circuit is performing.
(Hint: then
and in the end puts of second NOR gate will be
and hence
Similarly work out the values of
for other combinations of
and
Compare with the truth table of OR, AND, NOT gates and find the correct one.)
A and B are the input of a NOR gate and the Output of this NOR gate is the Input of another NOR gate whose Output is Y. Hence,
Y =
Y = .
Y = A + B
Hence Circuit behaves as an OR gate.
