PRACTICE / Logic gates and truth tables

Read a circuit one gate at a time

An ideal two-input NAND gate receives A and B. Its output feeds a NOT gate.

For how many of the four binary input pairs is the final output 1?

Organize the givens & assumptions
  • Inputs A and B each take 0 or 1
  • Gate order: NAND, then NOT
  • Count each of the four input pairs once

Stable ideal binary inputs and outputs. Count 00, 01, 10 and 11 once each; ignore propagation delays.
