E6C10

In Figure E6-3, which is the schematic symbol for a NOR gate?

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

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