LOGIC GATES
LOGIC GATE
• Logic gates perform basic logical
functions and the fundamental building blocks of digital integrated circuits. • Most logic gates take an input of two binary values and output a single value of 1 or 0. • Some circuits may have only a few logic gates, while others, such as microprocessors WHAT ARE LOGIC GATES? TYPES OF LOGIC GATES • AND - True if A and B are both True • OR - True if either A or B are True • NOT - Inverts value: True if input is False; False if input is True • NAND - AND followed by NOT: False only if A and B are both True • NOR - OR followed by NOT: True only if A and B are both False • BUFFER - False if input is false; True if input is True • XOR - True if either A or B are True, but False if both are True • XNOR - XOR followed by NOT: True if A and B are both True or both False AND GATE • An AND gate is a logic gate having two or more inputs and a single output. • An AND gate operates on logical multiplication rules. • In this gate, if either of the inputs is low (0), then the output is also low. If all of the inputs are high (1), then the output will also be high. • It is sometimes called all or nothing gate NAND GATE • A NAND gate (“not AND gate”) is a logic gate that produces a low output (0) only if all its inputs are true, and high output (1) otherwise. • Hence the NAND gate is the inverse of an AND gate • NAND gate may have any number of input probes but only one output probe. OR GATE • An OR gate is a logic gate that performs logical OR operation. • A logical OR operation has a high output (1) if one or both the inputs to the gate are high (1). • If neither input is high, a low output (0) results. • An OR gate operates on logical addition rules. • Boolean expression is A+B = Y NOR GATE • NOR gate symbols “NOT+OR” gate, hence the output of this logic gate of that an OR gate • Hence in the case of the NOR gate, the output is logic one only when all inputs are logic zero. • Boolean expression is A+B= Y NOT GATE • A NOT gate is a single input and single output gate also called an inverter. • A NOT gate implements logical negation on its input. If the input is true or high, then the output will be false or zero. Furthermore, false or zero input results in a high output. • Boolean expression is A BUFFER GATE • A buffer, is a basic logic gate that passes its input, unchanged, to its output. Its behavior is the opposite of a NOT gate. • The main purpose of a buffer is to regenerate the input, usually using a strong high and a strong low. • A buffer has one input and one output; its output always equals its input. X-OR GATE • Exclusive-OR or XOR Gate yields an output only if two of its inputs are different. If one of them is active high and the other is active low then the output will be high otherwise low. • The plus (+) sign within the circle is used as the Boolean expression of the XOR gate. • The symbol of the XOR gate is XNOR GATE • The EX-NOR gate is built by connecting the Exclusive-OR gate and the NOT gate. • It is also called Ex-NOR or XNOR Gate. • The output of the EX-NOR gate is high when both the inputs are 1 or high and if both the inputs are 0 or low, • This states that both the inputs should be equal for the output to be high or 1.
