The NAND gate and the NOR gate can be said to be universal gates since combinations of them can be used to accomplish any of the basic operations and can thus produce an inverter, an OR gate or an AND gate.

NAND gate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The NAND gate is a digital logic gate that behaves in a manner that corresponds to the truth table to the left. A LOW output results only if both the inputs to the gate are HIGH. If one or both inpu...

NAND logic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
NAND gates are one of the two basic logic gates (along with NOR gates) from which any other logic gates can be built. Due to this property, NAND and NOR gates are sometimes called "universal gates". H...

You can investigate the behaviour of a single NAND gate using this circuit: ... NAND gate test circuit ... If you have designed a system which contains a NAND gate integrated circuit, it can be convenient and cost-effective to implement other logic functions using spare NAND gates which would otherwise be unused.

Figure 1.2 Wiring the NAND gate as an inverter ... All digital systems can be constructed by only three basic logic gates. These basic gates are called the AND gate, the OR gate, and the NOT gate. Some textbooks also include the NAND gate, the NOR gate and the EOR gate as the members of the family of basic logic gates.
