Discussion Digital Circuit

The document discusses different types of logic gates including OR, NAND, and XNOR gates. It explains how the OR gate works by performing logical addition and having an output that is high if any input is high. The NAND gate has an output that is high if any input is low, and it is a combination of an AND gate and NOT gate. The XNOR gate has an output that is high if all inputs are the same state.

Discussion:

1. A logic gate is an electronic circuit/device which makes the logical decisions. To

arrive at this decisions, the most common logic gates used are OR, AND, NOT,

NAND, and NOR gates. The NAND and NOR gates are called universal gates.

The exclusive-OR gate is another logic gate which can be constructed using

AND, OR and NOT gate.

2. Logic gates have one or more inputs and only one output. The output is active

only for certain input combinations. Logic gates are the building blocks of any

digital circuit. Logic gates are also called switches. With the advent of integrated

circuits, switches have been replaced by TTL (Transistor Transistor Logic) circuits

and CMOS circuits.

3. In his experiment, there are three gates are tested. There are OR, NAND and

XNOR gates.

4. The OR gate performs logical addition, commonly known as OR function. The

OR gate has two or more inputs and single output. The output of OR gate is

HIGH only when any one of its inputs are HIGH (i.e. even if one input is HIGH,

Output will be HIGH). If X and Y are two inputs, then output F can be represented

mathematically as F = X+Y. Here plus sign (+) denotes the OR operation.

5. NAND gate is a cascade of AND gate and NOT gate. It has two or more inputs

and only one output. The output of NAND gate is HIGH when any one of its input
is LOW (i.e. even if one input is LOW, Output will be HIGH). If X and Y are two

inputs, then output F can be represented mathematically as F = (X.Y)', Here dot

(.) denotes the AND operation and (') denotes inversion.

6. An Exclusive-NOR (XNOR) gate is gate with two or three or more inputs and one

output. The output of a two-input XNOR gate assumes a HIGH state if all the

inputs assumes same state. This is equivalent to saying that the output is HIGH if

both input X and input Y is HIGH exclusively or same as input X and input Y is

LOW exclusively, and LOW when both are not same. If X and Y are two inputs,

then output F can be represented mathematically as F = X Y, Here denotes

the XNOR operation. X Y and is equivalent to X.Y + X'.Y'.
