The logic gates shown in the digital circuit below use strong pull-down nMOS transistors for LOW logic level at the outputs

The logic gates shown in the digital circuit below use strong pull-down nMOS transistors for LOW logic level at the outputs

Q. The logic gates shown in the digital circuit below use strong pull-down nMOS transistors for LOW logic level at the outputs. When the pull-downs are off, high-value resistors set the output logic levels to HIGH (i.e. the pull-ups are weak). Note that some nodes are intentionally shorted to implement “wired logic”. Such shorted nodes
