What is a characteristic of a NAND gate?

🔍 Key Concepts

• NAND gate as the opposite of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate • Truth table of an AND gate vs. NAND gate • When does a NAND gate output logic “0” vs. logic “1”

💭 Think About

• First, recall the condition under which an AND gate outputs a logic “1”. Then think: if you invert that result (NOT), when would the output become logic “0”? • Look at each choice and ask yourself: in which case is the output forced to logic “0”, and does that match AND-then-NOT behavior? • Try a simple two‑input case: list all input combinations (00, 01, 10, 11) and write what a NAND gate would output, then see which description matches.

✅ Before You Answer

• Be sure you clearly know: an AND gate outputs “1” only when all inputs are 1. • Then apply inversion: a NAND gate outputs the opposite of AND for every input condition. • Check each option’s wording carefully, especially “only when all inputs are …” versus “some but not all inputs …” — confirm which one matches the truth table of a NAND gate.

Produces a logic “0” at its output only when all inputs are logic “0”.

Produces a logic “1” at its output only when all inputs are logic “1”.
