Working and Output Table

Also known as the NOT-AND gate, it is the logic gate that provides a false output when the inputs are true, thus saying that it is the complement output of AND gate. The CD4093 is a 14 pin IC accommodation with 4 NAND gates internally. Pin(1) A and Pin(2) B are the inputs of the NAND gate 1 which provide a complement output of AND gate at pin(3) J. Similarly, the image below represents how the NAND gates are connected to which pins.

The truth table below shows the inputs and the output of the NAND gate. Any inputs provided to pin 1, 2, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12, a corresponding output through the NAND gate will be received. The following table can be referred to for the input and output values.
