Experiment 17 - Logic with NAND Gates

In the experiments 9 and 10, you have seen how to build the seven basic gate by using only NOR gates. How do you build all basic gates using only NAND gates? Here you find out.

All you need is the C-MOS IC 4011 with its four NAND gates.

1. The NOT Gate

2. The NAND Gate

Have are already working with NAND gates, the circuit therefore trivial..

3. The AND Gate
