Problem 4. (10 points)

A. (4 points) A schematic is given below for a circuit implemented using only NAND gates and INVERTERs. Add complement bars to the diagram to make it a valid mixed-logic schematic. Then, write an algebraic expression for the function this mixed-logic circuit implements. Your expression should correspond to the circuit structure given; do not attempt to algebraically minimize the expression.

B. (6 points) Draw a mixed-logic schematic to implement the function from part A using only physical NOR gates and INVERTERs. Your schematic should correspond to the expression from part A; do not attempt to minimize or otherwise algebraically manipulate the expression. You should make a reasonable effort to minimize the number of inverters required. Then, determine the number of each type of physical logic gate that would be required to implement this circuit as drawn.
