Chip Designing for ASIC/ FPGA Design engineers and Students
Digital-logic Design... Dream for many students… start learning front-end…
So the complete circuit for XOR using NAND gates is shown below.
Some of the most important interview questions includes the conversion of gates. Here at FCD we have discussed following conversions.
NAND to Inverter
XOR from NAND discussed on this page.
XOR from NOR.
In this page we are going to cover XOR from NAND gate. Lets start the discussion with truth tables of XOR and NAND.
From Digital Basics section we know the equations for XOR and NAND gates. The equations are also shown below:-
XOR equation = A’B + AB’
NAND equation = A’ + B’
Following are the steps to drive XOR only using NAND gates
First reformat the XOR equation.
Step 1 :- A'B + AB' = [(A+B')' + (A'+B)'] using theorems T7, T8 and T9
Step 2 :- [((A')'+B')' + (A' + (B')')'] using theorems T7, T8 and T9
