A state diagram of a logic gate which exhibits a delay in the output is shown in the figure, where X is the don’t care condition, and Q is the output representing the state.
The logic gate represented by the gate diagram is
This is the truth table of the gate mentioned in the diagram. From the truth table, we can see that the gate is clearly NAND Gate.
Note: While deriving the truth table no need to look at the state, we just need to focus on input-output combination.

In a digital combinational circuit with 4 inputs (A, B, C, D), it is required to obtain an output of logical 1 only for the input combination (A=1; B=C=D=0). It is known that the following combinations of input are forbidden:
ABCD= 1010, 1011, 1100, 1101, 1110, 1111
Evaluate the logical expression for the output and realize the same with two input NAND gates. Assume that complements of inputs are not available.
Output is 1 for input combination (A=1; B=C=D=0) i.e. 1000 and 1110, but 1110 is forbidden so only for input combination 1000 output is 1.
