What is an AND Gate?
An AND gate is a basic gate that is popularly known as an all-or-nothing gate. It gives one input when fed with two or more than two inputs. It is important to note that the output of the AND gate becomes low even if any one of the inputs is low and it becomes otherwise. Therefore it functions in a way that it is high only when all its inputs are high or ‘1’.
Let us see the AND gate for two inputs :
Y=A.B
where . represents AND
Here is a truth table which helps us analyze what will be the output of AND for different A and B fed to it
Implementation of AND Gate from NOR Gate
Digital electronics revolves around storing data in bits of 1s and 0s. Not only is digital electronics an efficient way of storing data but it also makes it easier to encrypt and secure our data. It is awesome how we can use different logic gates to implement some functions and represent these equations.
In this article, we will see how we can represent an AND logic which is high using a NOR logic which represents complement. Firstly, we will individually understand these gates and then we will implement them.
