DeMorgan's Theorems:-

  • A mathematician named DeMorgan developed a pair of important rules regarding group complementation in Boolean algebra.

Theorem 1:- 

  • DeMorgan's First theorem states that for any two elemnts A and B in a boolean algebra, the complemeny of a product is equal to the sum of complements.

$\overline {AB} = \overline A +\overline B$

  • The LHS of this theorem represents a NAND gate with inputs A and B, whereas the RHS represents an OR gate with inverted inputs.
  • This OR gate is called as Bubbled OR.
  • Thus according to DeMorgan's First theorem NAND gate is equaivalent to Bubbled OR gate.
  • The circuit representation is given below

Proof:- 

A B $ \overline{AB}$ $\overline A$ $ \overline B $ $\overline A + \overline B$
0 0 1 1 1 1
0 1 1 1 0 1
1 0 1 0 1 1
1 1 0 0 0 0

Theorem 2:- 

  • DeMorgan's Second theorem states that for any two elemnts A and B in a boolean algebra, the complemeny of a sum is equal to the product of complements.

$\overline {A+B} = \overline A \ \overline B$

  • The LHS of this theorem represents a NOR gate with inputs A and B, whereas the RHS represents an AND gate with inverted inputs.
  • This AND gate is called as Bubbled AND.
  • Thus according to DeMorgan's Second theorem NOR gate is equaivalent to Bubbled AND gate.
  • The circuit representation is given below

           

Proof:- 

   

A B $\overline{A+B}$ $\overline A$ $\overline B$ $ {\overline A \ \ \overline B}$
