Approach Solution -2

To solve the given circuit and determine the output \( Y \) for the inputs \( A \) and \( B \), we need to analyze the logic gates used in the circuit.
Circuit Analysis:
The circuit provided in the image represents an XOR gate. Let's verify this by constructing the truth table:
1. NAND Gates:
  - The first two NAND gates receive inputs \( A \) and \( B \).
  - The output of the first NAND gate, \( \text{NAND1} \), is \( \overline{A \cdot B} \).
  - The output of the second NAND gate, \( \text{NAND2} \), is \( \overline{A \cdot B} \).
2. Connecting Outputs:
  - The output of \( \text{NAND1} \) is one of the inputs to \( \text{NAND3} \), and the input \( A \) is the other input.
  - The output of \( \text{NAND2} \) is one of the inputs to \( \text{NAND4} \), and the input \( B \) is the other input.
3. Third and Fourth NAND Gates:
  - The output of \( \text{NAND3} \) is \( \overline{A \cdot \overline{A \cdot B}} \).
  - The output of \( \text{NAND4} \) is \( \overline{B \cdot \overline{A \cdot B}} \).
4. Final NAND Gate:
  - The outputs of \( \text{NAND3} \) and \( \text{NAND4} \) are inputs to the final NAND gate, \( \text{NAND5} \).
  - The output of \( \text{NAND5} \) is \( Y = \overline{\left( \overline{A \cdot \overline{A \cdot B}} \cdot \overline{B \cdot \overline{A \cdot B}} \right)} \).
Now, let’s look into the truth table:
Truth Table Explanation:
- When \( A = 0 \) and \( B = 0 \), \( Y = 0 \).
- When \( A = 0 \) and \( B = 1 \), \( Y = 1 \).
- When \( A = 1 \) and \( B = 0 \), \( Y = 1 \).
- When \( A = 1 \) and \( B = 1 \), \( Y = 0 \).
This matches the truth table for an XOR gate. Thus, the correct option is:
Option 4:
\[\begin{array}{c|c|c}A & B & Y \\\hline0 & 0 & 0 \\0 & 1 & 1 \\1 & 0 & 1 \\1 & 1 & 0 \\\end{array}\]
Conclusion:
The given circuit represents an XOR gate, and the output truth table is correctly represented by Option 4.

Concepts Used:

Semiconductors

Semiconductors are a crystalline solid materials, whose electrical conductivity lies between a conductor and an insulator. Semiconductors are mainly used in the manufacturing of electronic devices like capacitors, transistors, diodes, Integrated circuits, etc.

Properties of Semiconductor:

  1. Semiconductor acts like an insulator at Zero Kelvin. On increasing the temperature, it works as a conductor.
  2. Due to their exceptional electrical properties, semiconductors can be modified by doping to make semiconductor devices suitable for energy conversion, switches, and amplifiers.
  3. Lesser power losses.

Uses of Semiconductor:

  1. Semiconductors are widely used in manufacturing electronics devices like transistors, diodes, sensors, integrated circuits.
  2. Semiconductors are widely used in all electronic devices, like mobile phones, digital cameras, communication devices, trains, ATMs, etc.
