Step 1
A NAND gate is a logic gate that produces an output of 0 only when all of its inputs are 1. In other words, it is the negation of an AND gate. Now, let's analyze the options: a. it is used by everybody - This statement is not true. While NAND gates are commonly Show more…

The NAND or NOR gates are referred to as universal gates because they can be used to build all the other types of gates. They can be found in almost all digital circuits. They were the first gates to be integrated. They are used in all countries of the world.
