E6C08

In Figure E6-3, which is the schematic symbol for a NAND gate?

  • A.1
  • B.2 (correct answer)
  • C.3
  • D.4

WhySymbol 2 in Figure E6-3 is the schematic symbol for a NAND gate. In Figure E6-3, symbol 2 shows the flat-backed, rounded-front AND gate shape with a small bubble at its output, and that output bubble is what turns an AND gate symbol into a NAND (NOT-AND) gate, answer B. Symbol 1 is a plain AND gate without the bubble, symbol 3 is an OR gate, and symbol 4 is a NOR gate (OR shape with a bubble), none of which is the NAND gate being asked for.
