2. LOGIC GATE
• Actually the term logic is applied to digital circuits used to implement logic
functions. Several kinds of digital logic circuits are the basic elements that
form the building blocks for such complex digital system as the computer.
• The lines connected to each symbols are the inputs and outputs.
• The inputs are on the left of each symbol and the output is on the right.
• A circuit that performs a specific logic operation (AND, OR) is called a logic
gate.

3. THE INVERTER
• The inverter (NOT circuit) performs the operation called inversion or
complementation.
• The NOT operation changes one logic level to the opposite logical level.
When the input is Low, the output is high. When the input is high, the output is
low.
• The inverter changes one logic level to the opposite level. In terms of bits, it
changes a 1 to a 0 and 0 to 1.

When a High level is applied to an inverter input, a Low level will appear on its output.
When a Low level is applied to its input, a High will appear on its output.

6. THE AND GATE
• An AND gate can have two or more inputs and performs what is know as
multiplication.
• The output of AND gate is high when all inputs are high otherwise all outputs
are low.

7. OPERATION OF AND GATE
• An AND gate produces a HIGH output only when all of the inputs are HIGH.
When any of the inputs is LOW, the output is LOW. Therefore, the basic
purpose of AND gate is to determine when certain conditions are
simultaneously true, as indicated by High levels on all of its inputs, and
produces a High on its output.

12. • To determine the total number of possible combination of binary inputs to a
gate is determined by the following formula.
N=2n
Where N is the number of possible input combinations and n is the number of input
variables.
Example,
Two inputs variables; N=22 = 4 Combinations.
Three inputs variables; N=23 = 8 Combinations.
Four inputs variables; N=24 = 16 Combinations.

13. THE OR GATE
• OR gate can have two or more inputs and performs what is known as logical
addition.
• The output of OR gate is Low when all inputs are low, otherwise all outputs
are high

14. OPERATION OF AN OR GATE
• An OR gate produces a High on the output when any of the inputs is High.
The output is Low only when all of the inputs are Low. Therefore, an OR gate
determines when one or more of its inputs are High and produces a High on
its output.

19. THE NAND GATE
• The NAND gate is the one of the popular logic element because it can be
used as a universal gate; that is NAND gate can be used in combination to
perform the AND, OR, and inverter operations.
• NAND Gate is constructed by attaching NOT Gate at the output of AND
Gate, hence NAND Gate is called NOT- AND Gate.
• NAND Gate has two or more input and only one output.
• The output of NAND gate is low when all inputs are high, otherwise all outputs
are high.

20. OPERATION OF A NAND GATE
• A NAND gate produces a Low output only when all the inputs are High.
When any of the inputs is Low, the output will be High.

25. THE NOR GATE
• The NOR gate, like the NAND gate, NOR gate is also useful logical element
because it can also be used as a universal gate.
• NOR gate can be used in combination to perform the AND, OR and Inverter
operations.
• NOR Gate is the combination of NOT gate at the output of OR gate, hence
NOR gate is type of NOT-OR gate.
• NOR gate has two or more input and only one output.
• The Output of NOR gate is high when all inputs are low otherwise the output
is low.

26. OPERATION OF NOR GATE
• A NOR gate produces a Low output when any of its inputs is high. Only when
all of it’s inputs are low is the output high.

• The exclusive-OR gate has a graphical symbol similar to that of the OR gate,
except for the additional curved line on the input side.
• It can take only 2 inputs.
• We can’t construct Ex-OR Gate using three input Ex-OR gate.
• If both inputs are Low or both are High then it produces the output Low or 0.
otherwise it produce the High.
