| The OR operation can be produced using | Two NOR gates. Three NOR gates. |
| When using dual symbols in a logic diagram | Bubble outputs connect to bubble inputs. NAND symbols produce AND operations. Negative-OR symbols produce OR operations. |
| All Boolean expressions can be implemented using (Universality) | NAND gates only. NOR gates only. Combinations of NAND and NOR gates. |
| Which flip-flop has two stable states and stores one bit? | SR Flip-Flop |
| Minimum time input must be stable before clock edge (timing parameter)? | Setup Time |
