One of the things that every student of digital electronics learns, is that every single logic function can be made from a combination of NAND gates. But nobody is foolhardy enough to give it a ...

As an example, let’s consider the AND gate (the others are OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR). Electronic gates operate on two nominal voltages, normally 0 V and 5 V, representing the logic 0 ...

NAND Flash is named after the NAND (NOT-AND) logic gate, which is used in its basic architecture. The term "NAND" is derived from the way the memory cells are organized in a series-connected structure ...

An inverter (or NOT gate) turns its output on only if the input is off. By combining these two, we can create a NAND ("not AND") gate, which turns its output on unless all inputs are on.

The NAND and NOR designations actually refer to the logic circuits on the chips (for more details, see flash memory and logic gate). Traditional flash memory has a single layer of cells ...
