Questions and Answers
What is a logic gate?
A logic gate is a simple switching circuit that determines whether an input pulse can pass through to the output in digital circuits. The building blocks of a digital circuit are logic gates, which execute numerous logical operations that are required by any digital circuit.
How many inputs can logic gates take and how many outputs do they produce?
Logic gates can take two or more inputs but only produce one output.
What determines the output of a logic gate?
The mix of inputs applied across a logic gate determines its output.
