Question

What does NAND stand for?

Answer 1

NAND stands for NOT AND. It is a logic gate that is the opposite of an AND gate. In a NAND gate, the output is false (0) only when all inputs are true (1). For any other combination of inputs, the output will be true (1).

For example:

1. If both inputs are 0, the output is 1.
   

1. If one input is 0 and the other is 1, the output is 1.
   

1. If both inputs are 1, the output is 0.
   

So, the NAND gate gives the inverse of the AND gate output. It’s one of the fundamental gates in digital electronics.
