NAND Gate

An NAND gate is a fundamental binary logic gate with N inputs and one output. The output is 1 if not all inputs are 1.

The following truth table gives the specification for a two input NAND gate with output X:

A	B	X
0	0	1
0	1	1
1	0	1
1	1	0

The schematic form of the NAND gate is:

Below is a Verilog structural model for the NAND gate. In the code, the first argument to nand is the gate output, the other arguments are inputs.

	    
module nand_gate(X, A, B);
   output X;
   input  A;
   input  B;

   nand(X, A, B);
endmodule
