And Gate

The document describes an AND gate circuit using diodes. The circuit uses two diodes with a common resistor to represent the AND logic function, where the output will be 5V only if both inputs A and B are 5V, and 0V otherwise. Calculations are shown for the current and voltages in the circuit to represent the two Boolean logic states of inputs and outputs.

AND GATE

A diode in conducting state or cut-off state is used to represents the two values of

Boolean variable. Let us consider the electronic circuit as shown in below figure.

V c c = + 5 V

A
D IO D E -1
C

B
D IO D E -2

D I O D E A N D G A T E

Io = Vcc – Vd / R
= +5V – 0.7 / 10KΩ Vo = Vcc – Vd
= 4.3V / 10000 = +5V – 0.7
=430µA = 4.3V

Here input signal assumes a voltage of 0 or 5volt. From the above figure it is clear that

point C will be +5v only if both inputs to A and B are at +5volts. If either of input to A or

B is at 0 volt, the output will be 0. if we assign a value 1 to represent +5v(on or

conducting) and a 0 to represent 0 volt (non-conducting or off) at the output .
