Number of transistors per logic gate:
Thus, in terms of transistor count, it is “cheaper” to design logic circuits using NAND and NOR gates.

The NAND Gate
Any logic function can be realized using only NAND gates.
It is a functionally complete set of gates.

Alternate Logic Gate Symbols Digital circuit designers often find it convenient to use
more than one representation for a given logic gate.

NAND and NOR Circuits
A two-level circuit composed of AND and OR gates is easily converted to a circuit composed of NAND or NOR gates only.
AND-OR → NAND-NAND OR-AND → NOR-NOR
To do so algebraically, First use F = (F')' Then apply DeMorgan's Theorem

NAND Circuit: Example
Convert the following SOP expression from the AND-OR form to the NAND-NAND form:
F(A,B,C) = A.B' + A'.C' + B.C

NOR Circuit: Example
Convert the following POS expression from the OR-AND form to the NOR-NOR form:
F(A,B,C) = (A'+B').(A'+C).(B+C')

Design a NAND Circuit
• Find the minimum SOP expression for F.
• Draw the corresponding AND-OR circuit.
• Replace all gates with NAND gates, leaving the gate interconnection unchanged.
• Complement any literals connected directly to the output (OR) gate.

Multi-level Logic Circuits

Multi-level Logic Circuits Thus far we have focused on the realization of optimal
logic circuits through the derivation of Minimum Sum of Products (SOP) expressions Minimum Product of Sums (POS) expressions
Both forms of Boolean expressions are realized as two-level logic circuits
SOP ↔ AND-OR (NAND-NAND) circuit POS ↔ OR-AND (NOR-NOR) circuit There are a maximum of two logic gates between every
input and the output(s).

Multi-level Logic Circuits A two-level logic circuit is usually efficient for Boolean
expressions of a few variables (i.e. inputs). However, as the number of inputs increases, a two-
level logic circuit may encounter fan-in problems. Fan-in refers to the number of inputs to a logic gate
Whether fan-in is an issue is dependent upon the technology used to implement the logic circuit.

Multi-level Logic Circuits A multi-level logic circuit may require fewer logic gates
than the logically equivalent two-level logic circuit. Reduced (silicon) area Decreased cost
It may require less complex wiring between logic gates Fewer literals results in fewer interconnecting wires
It will have a greater propagation delay than the logically equivalent two-level logic circuit.
Each additional level adds to the propagation delay Decreased speed

• Replace all gates with NAND gates, leaving the interconnection between gates unchanged.
• Leave inputs to gates at the even levels unchanged; complement inputs to gates at the odd levels.

Multiple-output Logic Circuits
Thus far, we have focused on designing logic circuits to realize a single logic function.
A logic circuit with a single output. However, many logic circuits have multiple
outputs. Corresponding to multiple logic functions of
the same input variables.

Multiple-output Logic Circuits
An optimal logic circuit may not be realized by simply minimizing each of the logic functions independently.
Rather, it may be necessary to consider which terms (i.e. logic gates), if any, are common to the logic functions to be realized.
Share those logic gates that are in common.

F(A,B,C) = m(0, 4, 5)G(A,B,C) = m(0, 2, 6)
Cost = # of logic gates + # of gate inputs
