What is logic gate?
Logic gate: A digital circuit which either allows a signal to pass through or stops it, is called gate. Such gate allows the signal to pass through only when some logical conditions are satisfied. Hence they are called logic gate.Logic gate |
There are three types of basic logic gate.
1) OR gate It is a device having two or more inputs and one output. In Boolean algebra, the term OR is represented by (+) and Boolean expression for OR gate is A + B = Y, indicates Y equals A OR B.
2) AND gate It is a device having two or more inputs and one output. In Boolean algebra, the term AND is represented by dot (.) and the Boolean expression A.B= Y, indicates Y equal A AND B.
3) NOT gate It is device which has one input and one output. In Boolean algebra the term NOT is represented by bar symbol (-) and the Boolean expression A = Y, indicates that Y equals NOT A.
