The two input signals A and B shown in the figure are applied as input to
(i) AND,
(ii) NOR and
(iii) NAND gates. Draw the output waveform in each case.

Solution

Read the two input waveforms interval by interval and apply each gate's rule.
(i) AND, : output is high only in intervals where A and B are simultaneously high.
(ii) NOR, : output is high only in intervals where both A and B are low.
(iii) NAND, : output is low only where both are high, and high in all other intervals.
