In summary, the conversation discusses three functions, X, Y, and Z, with four variables and provides a solution for implementing them using a two-level NAND gate circuit with 13 gates or 10 gates with sharing. A ROM can also be used to implement these functions. Additionally, it is suggested to use two three-input decoders and a minimum number of AND, OR, and NOT gates to implement the functions.

two-level NAND circuits plus ROM??

Homework Statement


Code:
We have three functions, X, Y, Z of the four variables, A, B, C, D. Note: Each part can be solved without the other:

X(A, B, C, D)= m(0,2,6,7,10,13,14,15)
Y(A, B, C, D) = m(2, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15)
Z(A, B, C, D) = m(0, 6, 8, 10, 13, 14, 15)

a. Implement with a two-level NAND gate circuit. This can be done using only prime implicants of the individual functions with 13 gates. With sharing, it can be done with 10 gates. Assume that all variables are available both complemented and uncomplemented.

b. Implement these functions using a ROM.

c. Implement this with 2 three-input (plus active low enable) decoders as shown here, plus a minimum number of AND, OR, and NOT gates.
T.T

solved the equations. (SOP)
X = A' B' D' + C D' + A B D + B C
Y = A C' D' + A B D + A' B C + B' C D' or
Z = B' C' D' + A B D + B C D' + A B' D'

what to do with this.

Assuming these are correct, I guess you now implement X using 2-input NAND gates and signals A,B,C and D. (I think it means you also have A', B', etc. available and don't need to waste a gate to generate these yourself.) You'll first replace the ORs with NANDs.

I can't help with b or c.
 

Related to Two-level NAND circuits plus ROM?

What is a two-level NAND circuit plus ROM?

A two-level NAND circuit plus ROM is a logic circuit that combines NAND gates with a read-only memory (ROM) to perform specific functions.

How does a two-level NAND circuit plus ROM work?

The NAND gates in the circuit act as universal logic gates, performing logical operations such as AND, OR, and NOT. The ROM stores data in the form of binary code, which can be accessed and manipulated by the NAND gates to perform desired functions.

What are the advantages of using a two-level NAND circuit plus ROM?

The main advantage is that it allows for the implementation of complex functions using a small number of components. This makes it cost-effective and efficient for various applications. Additionally, its simple design makes it easy to understand and troubleshoot.

What are some common applications of a two-level NAND circuit plus ROM?

These circuits are commonly used in microcontrollers, calculators, and other electronic devices that require logic operations to be performed quickly and accurately. They are also used in digital systems such as computers and communication devices.

How does a two-level NAND circuit plus ROM differ from other logic circuits?

The main difference is that it combines both NAND gates and ROM, whereas other logic circuits may only use one or the other. This allows for more complex functions to be performed with fewer components. Additionally, the use of ROM allows for the storage and retrieval of data, making it useful for applications that require memory.
