Logic Gates: Definitions and Functions

Introduction
Logic gates are the fundamental building blocks of digital circuits. They are electronic
devices that perform logical operations on one or more binary inputs to produce a single
binary output. Logic gates are used in digital electronics to implement Boolean functions.

Types of Logic Gates

1. AND Gate
An AND gate is a digital logic gate that outputs HIGH (1) only when all its inputs are HIGH
(1). Otherwise, it outputs LOW (0). It follows the Boolean expression: A ⋅ B = Y

Truth Table:
A B Y (A AND B)

0 0 0

0 1 0

1 0 0

1 1 1

2. OR Gate
An OR gate is a digital logic gate that outputs HIGH (1) when at least one of its inputs is
HIGH (1). It follows the Boolean expression: A + B = Y

Truth Table:
A B Y (A OR B)

0 0 0

0 1 1

1 0 1

1 1 1

3. NOT Gate
A NOT gate is a digital logic gate that inverts the input. If the input is HIGH (1), the output is
LOW (0) and vice versa. It follows the Boolean expression: Y = A'

Truth Table:
A Y (NOT A)
0 1

1 0

Conclusion
Logic gates are essential components in digital electronics. They perform basic logical
operations that are used in designing digital circuits, computer systems, and various
electronic applications.
