Start by implementing a single AND gate using NAND gates: AND(A, B) = NAND(NAND(A, B), NAND(A, B)). Then combine 16 of those gates in parallel for each bit of the input buses.

Use the HDL provided in the Nand2Tetris course. For and16, just use 16 and gates like: 'AND(a=a[0],b=b[0],out=out[0]);' and repeat for all bits.

Super simple: just make an AND gate from two NAND gates and then chain 16 of those. Done.

Been there, done that! You can easily create the AND gate from NANDs and then use 16 of those in a row for each bit. Check the Nand2Tetris reference for exact syntax.

Use a loop to instantiate 16 AND gates in hardware description language. Each gate processes one bit of the 16-bit input.
