1. AIM

The Aim of this simulation is to identify all the outputs of simulation using different inputs.
2. COMPONENTS

2.1.1 NAND GATE
NAND GATE is a gate that produce low output when all inputs are high

6. DISCUSSION

We have got 2-inputs (A and B) and 4-outputs (Y1, Y2, Y3 and X) in a TRUTH TABLE and we
use binary bits to show our inputs and output, binary number has two bits (1 and 0) 1 is
representing HIGH state and 0 represent LOW state. We identify input using LOGICSTATE in
a schematic and output using LOGIC PROBE. We used 4 NAND Gate in this circuit simulation.
In this circuits from the first NAND gate and the output is Y1, the Y1 is become an input from
another NAND gates to produce output Y2 and Y3, AND Y2 and Y3 they become inputs on
the last NAND gate to produce output X
- When both inputs A and B are LOW then outputs Y1 will be HIGH, Y2 will be HIGH, Y3 will
be HIGH, and X will be LOW.
- When input A is LOW and B is HIGH then outputs Y1 will be HIGH, Y2 will be HIGH, Y3 will
be LOW, and X will be HIGH.
- When input A is HIGH and B is LOW then outputs Y1 will be HIGH, Y2 will be LOW, Y3 will
be HIGH, and X will be HIGH.
- When both inputs A and B are HIGH then outputs Y1 will be LOW, Y2 will be HIGH, Y3 will
be HIGH, and X will LOW.

7. CONCLUSION
In the experiment all the result (output) were achieved and they match with the one on the
circuits on breadboard. I learned how to build the circuits on breadboard and how does
NAND gates look like inside on it and how does it work.
