The Negative-AND Gate

A Negative-AND gate functions the same as an AND gate with all its inputs inverted (connected through NOT gates).  In keeping with standard gate symbol convention, these inverted inputs are

signi¯ed by bubbles. Contrary to most peoples' ¯rst instinct, the logical behavior of a Negative-AND

gate is not the same as a NAND gate. Its truth table, actually, is identical to a NOR gate:
