LOGIC GATES
OR Gate :
Boolean expression Y = A + B A B Y
A 0 0 0
Symbol Y=A+B Truth table 1 0 1
B 0 1 1
1 1 1
AND gate

NAND and NOR work as basic building blocks
Any logic gate can be realised by using only NAND gates or only NOR gates. Therefore these two gates are
called the building blocks NAND / NOR are also universal gate.
