Types of NAND Gates
There are two types of NAND gates, based on the number of inputs
- 2-Input NAND Gate
- 3-Input NAND Gate
2-Input NAND Gate
It is the simplest form of NAND gate which takes two inputs and returns the output. There are 22 = 4 combinations of input and output.
Three-Input NAND Gate
As the name suggests, it has three inputs and only one output. There are 23 = 8 combinations of input and output.
NAND Gate
Logic Gates are one of the most important topics in electronics, especially digital electronics. The concept of logic gates relies on the concept of Boolean functions. Logic gates take one or multiple binary values as input and return one binary value as output after doing the logical calculation on them. There are several kinds of GATEs available in Digital Electronics, some of them are known as basic gates, and some of them are known as universal gates.
A NAND gate falls under the category of Universal gates because the NAND gate can implement any Boolean function without the help of basic gates and also calculate the results of logical inputs without the help of any other logic gate.
