10 Questions
What is a logic function?
A logic function is a function that operates on one or more input variables and produces an output based on certain logical rules.
What is an input variable?
An input variable is a variable that is used as an input to a logic function.
What is the logical AND operator?
The logical AND operator, denoted by the symbol $\cdot$, returns true (1) if and only if all of its operands are true (1).
What is the logical OR operator?
The logical OR operator, denoted by the symbol $+$, returns true (1) if any of its operands are true (1).
What is the complement operation?
The complement operation, denoted by the symbol $'$, is used to negate the value of a variable or a logical expression.
What is the equation for a logical AND function?
$L(x_1, x_2) = x_1 \cdot x_2$
What is the equation for a logical OR function?
$L(x_1, x_2) = x_1 + x_2$
What is the equation for the complement of a variable?
$L(x) = x'$
What does the AND gate do?
It gives a high output if both inputs are high.
What does the complement operation do?
It applies the logical NOT operation to a variable or operation.
Study Notes
Variables and Functions
- A logic function is a relationship between a set of input variables and an output variable, represented as L(x) = x.
- In a logic function, x is an input variable.
- L(x1, x2) = x1 · x2 is a logic function where L = 1 if x1 = 1 and x2 = 1, and L = 0 otherwise.
- The "·" symbol is called the AND operator, and the corresponding circuit implements a logical AND function.
Logic Operations
- L(x1, x2) = x1 + x2 is a logic function where L = 1 if x1 = 1 or x2 = 1 or if x1 = x2 = 1, and L = 0 if x1 = x2 = 0.
- The + symbol is called the OR operator, and the corresponding circuit implements a logical OR function.
- L(x, x, x) = (x + x) · x is a logic function with three input variables.
- The complement operation can be applied to a single variable or to more complex operations.
Complement Operation
- The complement of a logic function f is denoted as f', where f'(x1, x2) = (x1 + x2)'.
- The complement operation can be applied to a single variable, such as L(x) = x', which means L = 0 if x = 1 and L = 1 if x = 0.
Truth Tables
- A truth table is a table that shows the output of a logic function for all possible combinations of input variables.
- The truth table for the NOT operation (complement) is:
- x = 0, x' = 1
- x = 1, x' = 0
- An AND gate gives a high output if and only if all input variables are high.
