There are two more rules in Boolean Algebra.
_______ _ _
(A + B) = A * B
and
_______ _ _
(A * B) = A + B
These give the ability to change between AND and OR family of functions. While the logic is the same, this can help indicate a lot of useful information.
____
_______
C --| \
E = (C * D)
| )o-- E
D --|____/
____
_ _
C --o\ \
E = C + D
) )-- E
D --o/____/
In this example of DeMorgan's Theorem, these two gates are logically the exact same, as is the layout. The only difference is that C and D are now free to be manipulated alone. Rather then being "stuck" under the INVERTER function, the parts can now be manipulated individually.
This rule is implemented in schematics a lot when pulse waves are used. If a NAND gate is used in a circuit, it is sometimes represented by an OR gate with inverted inputs when the inputs are normally low and will pulse high. The inverted inputs indicate the normal state of the signal.
