Basic Logic Gates:: AND Diagram/symbol

Logic gates are basic building blocks of digital circuits that perform logical operations on binary inputs and produce binary outputs. The most common logic gates are AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates. Each gate has a unique truth table that defines its input-output behavior based on Boolean algebra. Logic gates are fundamental components in most modern electronic devices.

A logic gate is a device that acts as a building block for digital circuits.

They perform basic


logical functions that are fundamental to digital circuits. Most electronic devices we use today
will have some form of logic gates in them.
In a circuit, logic gates will make decisions based on a combination of digital signals coming
from its inputs. Most logic gates have two inputs and one output. Logic gates are based on
Boolean algebra.

Basic logic gates:


The AND gate is so named because, if 0 is called "false" and 1 is called "true," the gate acts in
the same way as the logical "and" operator. The following illustration and table show the circuit
symbol and logic combinations for an AND gate. (In the symbol, the input terminals are at left
and the output terminal is at right.) The output is "true" when both inputs are "true." Otherwise,
the output is "false." In other words, the output is 1 only when both inputs one AND two are 1.
The AND gate is an electronic circuit that gives a high output (1) only if all its inputs are high.
A dot (.) is used to show the AND operation i.e., A.B. Bear in mind that this dot is sometimes
omitted i.e., AB

AND Truth Table:


The OR gate gets its name from the fact that it behaves after the fashion of the logical inclusive
"or." The output is "true" if either or both of the inputs are "true." If both inputs are "false," then
the output is "false." In other words, for the output to be 1, at least input one OR two must be 1.

OR Truth Table:

The XOR (exclusive-OR) gate acts in the same way as the logical "either/or." The output is
"true" if either, but not both, of the inputs are "true." The output is "false" if both inputs are
"false" or if both inputs are "true." Another way of looking at this circuit is to observe that the
output is 1 if the inputs are different, but 0 if the inputs are the same.
XOR Diagram/Symbol:

XOR Truth Table:


A logical inverter, sometimes called a NOT gate to differentiate it from other types of electronic
inverter devices, has only one input. It reverses the logic state. If the input is 1, then the output is
0. If the input is 0, then the output is 1.
NOT Diagram/Symbol:

NOT Truth Table:

The NAND gate operates as an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. It acts in the manner of the
logical operation "and" followed by negation. The output is "false" if both inputs are "true."
Otherwise, the output is "true."

NAND Diagram/Symbol:

NAND Truth Table:


The NOR gate is a combination OR gate followed by an inverter. Its output is "true" if both
inputs are "false." Otherwise, the output is "false."
NOR Diagram/Symbol:

NOR Truth Table:

The XNOR (exclusive-NOR) gate is a combination XOR gate followed by an inverter. Its output
is "true" if the inputs are the same, and "false" if the inputs are different.
