Study Notes
Logic Gates
- Logic gates are digital circuits with one or more inputs and one output
- Outputs are either high or low voltage levels
- Output depends on specific input combinations
- Total combinations for an n-input gate = 2n
- Basic gates include AND, OR, NOT
AND Gate
- Has two or more input signals
- Output is high only if all inputs are high
- Logic equation: Y = AB (or Y = A * B)
OR Gate
- Has two or more input signals
- Output is high if any input is high
- Logic equation: Y = A + B
Truth Tables
- Truth tables list all possible input combinations and corresponding outputs for a gate
- Example for 2-input AND gate:
- Inputs (A, B) | Output (Y)
- (0, 0) | 0
- (0, 1) | 0
- (1, 0) | 0
- (1, 1) | 1
Boolean Algebra
- Used to represent and manipulate logic circuits
- Variables represent input signals (e.g., A, B, C)
- Operations are AND, OR, and NOT (often represented by symbols like * + , ')
- Output equations can be simplified for greater efficiency.
Voltage Levels
- Positive logic:
- High voltage level (e.g., +5V) represents 1
- Low voltage level (e.g., 0V) represents 0
- Negative logic:
- High voltage level (e.g., 0V) represents 1
- Low voltage level (e.g., +5V) represents 0
Number of Inputs
- Gates can have more than two inputs (e.g., ABC)
- Number of input signals influences total possible input combinations.
