 Background
Diode logic (DL) or diode resistor logic (DRL) is a logic family that uses only diodes
and resistors to implement logic functions. The main drawback of the diode logic family
is that it is not complete, as the inverter (NOT) function cannot be implemented using
diode logic. The AND & OR gates can be implemented using diode logic, which is a
simple and cost-effective approach for digital circuits as showing in fig (2).

Technical Background
The AND gate is a logic gate that performs a logical AND operation on two
binary inputs. The OR gate is a logic gate that performs a logical OR operation on two
binary inputs. The resistor and diode logic gates are used to perform analog operations
in digital circuits.

 OR gate
The OR gate differs from the AND gate in that only ONE input has to be
HIGH to produce a HIGH output. An easy way to remember the OR gate is
that any HIGH input will yield a HIGH output.
