    Study Notes

    NAND Gate

    • Consists of an AND gate followed by a NOT gate.
    • Output is only LOW when BOTH inputs are HIGH.
    • Can be represented by a combination of an AND Gate and a NOT gate.

    NOT Gate

    • Also known as an inverter.
    • Produces the opposite logic state of the input signal.
    • If the input is HIGH, the output is LOW and vice versa.

    Buffer

    • A type of gate that simply passes the input signal to the output without any alteration.
    • No logic operation is performed.

    AND Gate

    • Output is only HIGH when all inputs are HIGH.
    • Represented by a dot (.) between inputs.

    OR Gate

    • Output is HIGH if at least one input is HIGH.
    • Represented by a plus (+) symbol between the inputs.

    Exclusive-OR (XOR) Gate

    • Output is HIGH only when one of the inputs is HIGH, but not both.
    • Represented by a symbol that looks like an addition sign with a circle around it.

    Exclusive-NOR (XNOR) Gate

    • Output is HIGH only when both inputs are the same (either both HIGH or both LOW).
    • Can be implemented by combining an XOR gate and a NOT gate.

    NOR Gate

    • Output is HIGH only when both inputs are LOW.
    • Can be constructed using OR and NOT gates.

    Logic Gates

    • Digital systems are constructed using logic gates.
    • The basic logic gates are AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, EXOR and EXNOR.
    • These gates are represented through truth tables.

    AND Gate

    • The AND gate outputs a high signal only if all inputs are high.

    OR Gate

    • The OR gate outputs a high signal if at least one input is high.

    NOT Gate

    • The NOT gate inverts its input, meaning a high input results in a low output and vice versa.

    NAND Gate

    • The NAND gate is the inverse of the AND gate; it outputs a low signal only if all inputs are high.

    NOR Gate

    • The NOR gate is the inverse of the OR gate; it outputs a low signal if at least one input is high.

    EXOR Gate

    • The EXOR gate outputs a high signal if only one input is high, and a low signal if both inputs are either high or low.

    EXNOR Gate

    • The EXNOR gate is the inverse of the EXOR gate.
    • it outputs a high signal only if both inputs are the same (either both high or both low).

    Universal Gates

    • The NAND and NOR gates are considered "universal functions" because they can be used to simulate the behavior of any other basic logic gate.

    NAND Gate

    • The NAND gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (Q).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) only when both inputs are "0" (low).
    • It is called a "NAND" gate because it performs the opposite operation of an AND gate.

    NOT Gate

    • The NOT gate (also known as an inverter) has one input (A) and one inverted output (~A).
    • It inverts the input signal.
    • If the input is "1" (high), the output is "0" (low), and vice versa.

    Buffer

    • The buffer gate has one input (A) and one output (A).
    • It simply copies the input to the output.
    • It is used to amplify the signal or isolate parts of a circuit.

    AND Gate

    • The AND gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (A.B or A*B).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) only when both inputs are "1" (high).
    • It represents logical conjunction, meaning both inputs must be true for the output to be true.

    OR Gate

    • The OR gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (A+B).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) if at least one of the inputs is "1" (high).
    • It represents logical disjunction, meaning at least one input must be true for the output to be true.

    Exclusive-OR (XOR) Gate

    • The XOR gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (Q).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) if and only if one of the inputs is "1" (high) and the other is "0" (low).
    • It represents exclusive disjunction, meaning only one input can be true for the output to be true.

    Exclusive-NOR (XNOR) Gate

    • The XNOR gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (Q).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) if both inputs are the same (either both "1" or both "0") and a "0" (low) if they are different.
    • It is also called an equality gate because it produces a "1" only when both inputs are equal.

    NOR Gate

    • The NOR gate has two inputs (A and B) and one output (~A + ~B).
    • It outputs a "1" (high) only when both inputs are "0" (low).
    • It performs the opposite operation of an OR gate, hence the name "NOR".
