Signals

Description

The NAND (negated AND) symbol drives its output signal high if any one or more of the inputs are low and low if all the inputs are high. A NAND symbol with a single input is equivalent to a NOT symbol. That is, the output will be the complement of the input.

The NAND symbol can be expressed using a truth table, where low stands for logical 0 (false), and high stands for logical 1 (true). Thus the truth table for a two-input NAND has <out> = high for the rows where <i1> = low, <i2> = low, or both are low.

Truth table for two-input NAND:

<i1>       <i2>

low         low
