Detailed explanation-1: -Thus, the NAND gate is a universal gate since it can implement the AND, OR and NOT functions. NAND Gate is a Universal Gate: To prove that any Boolean function can be implemented using only NOR gates, we will show that the AND, OR, and NOT operations can be performed using only these gates.
Detailed explanation-2: -A NOT gate is made by joining the inputs of a NAND gate together. Since a NAND gate is equivalent to an AND gate followed by a NOT gate, joining the inputs of a NAND gate leaves only the NOT gate.
Detailed explanation-3: -The NAND gate and the NOR gate can be said to be universal gates since combinations of them can be used to accomplish any of the basic operations and can thus produce an inverter, an OR gate or an AND gate. The non-inverting gates do not have this versatility since they can’t produce an invert.
Detailed explanation-4: -What are Universal Gates? A universal gate is a logic gate which can implement any Boolean function without the need to use any other type of logic gate. The NOR gate and NAND gate are universal gates. This means that you can create any logical Boolean expression using only NOR gates or only NAND gates.
Detailed explanation-5: -In digital electronics, a NAND gate (NOT-AND) is a logic gate which produces an output which is false only if all its inputs are true; thus its output is complement to that of an AND gate. A LOW (0) output results only if all the inputs to the gate are HIGH (1); if any input is LOW (0), a HIGH (1) output results.
