2-input NAND gate using 2:1 mux

2-input NAND gate using 2:1 mux: Figure 3 below shows the truth table of a 2-input NAND gate. If we observe carefully, OUT equals '1' when A is '0'. Similarly, when A is '1', OUT is B'. So, if we connect SEL pin of mux to A, D0 pin of mux to '1' and D1 to B', then it will act as a NAND gate.

2-input OR gate using 2:1 mux

2-input OR gate using 2x1 mux: Figure 5 below shows the truth table for a 2-input OR gate. If we observe carefully, OUT equals B when A is '0'. Similarly, OUT is '1' (or A), when A is '1'. So, we can make a 2:1 mux act like a 2-input OR gate, if we connect D0 pin to B and D1 pin to A, with select connected to A.
