[Systems Engineering Teachers' Mailing List] February VCAA Bulletin now on website

[Rob Minato]

Hi Lorraine

Not sure if you are aware but there is an error on the formula sheet published by VCAA. The truth table output for the NAND gate shows all 1s. The last line should be a 0. (ie when Input A and B are both a 1, the output will be a 0.

Regards

Rob
