Question

 Draw two circuits that implement two-input XOR:

a.  Using only 2-input NAND gates.

b.  Using only 2-input NOR gates.

In both circuits, use the smallest number of gates you can.

Expert Solution
Step 1: Providing Short Introduction of Requirements of the Question

A key task in the design of digital logic is to implement two-input XOR gates using only NAND gates with two inputs and NOR gates with two inputs. In order to operate efficiently, these circuits can be built using the fewest amount of gates necessary.

Please refer to the following steps for the complete solution to the problem above.
