NAND Conversion Walkthrough

← Back to Unit 7

Description

This interactive walkthrough demonstrates how to convert a Sum-of-Products (SOP) circuit to an equivalent all-NAND implementation using the bubble pushing technique. Starting with F = AB + CD in AND-OR form, it shows the double inversion method and De Morgan's theorem application.

Learning Objectives

Bloom Level: Apply (L3)

After using this MicroSim, students will be able to:

  • ✓ Apply the double inversion technique for NAND conversion
  • ✓ Use De Morgan's theorem for bubble pushing
  • ✓ Convert any 2-level AND-OR circuit to NAND-NAND
  • ✓ Verify equivalence of converted circuits
