The document discusses digital logic gates. It describes the basic logic gates - AND, OR, NOT - and their functions and truth tables. It also discusses alternate representations like NAND and NOR gates. Applications of logic gates in devices like counters and alarms are provided.
2. LOGIC GATES
A logic gate is an electronic device
implementing a Boolean function,
a logical operation performed on one or more
binary inputs that produces a single binary
output.
When a transistor is on, or open, then an
electric current can flow through. And when it's
off, then no current flows.
When you string a bunch of these transistors
together, then you get what's called a logic
gate, which lets you add, subtract, multiply,
and divide binary numbers in any way
imaginable
