6. Universal Gate NAND & NOR Logic Design – Vote Machine

Project Description: In this project we had to create circuits that would best represent how a voting booth alarm and booth circuits would work. Instead of just creating a circuit with AOI gates we will be using only one type of gate so that it'll be more benefitial for our supply of gates. Using our notes that we went over in class, we found the equivalent forms of each AOI gate using only a NAND or NOR gates. The purpose of this project was for us to get used to these new types of gates. It also allowed us to know what to do when you have a certain limitation on the AOI gates you can use in a circuit.

Simplified Boolean Expressions:

Booth = AࠡBࠡ + CࠡDࠡ

Alarm = BC + CD + AB

What I learned:

After this project I learned how to make AOI circuits by using only one gate. This project taught me how to use NAND and NOR gates when replacing AOI gates in a circuit. By changing these gates it makes it more convienient for the person making it as it only requires one type of gate while still performing the same function.
