INTRODUCTION
LOGIC GATES
A gate is a digital circuit that follows certain relationship
between the input and output voltages. Therefore, they
are generally know as logic gates-gates because they
control the flow of information.
I.NOT GATE
This is the most basic gate, with one input and one
output. It produce a ‘1’ output if the input is ‘0’ and vice
versa. That is, it produces inverted version of the input as
its output.
II.OR GATE
An ‘OR gate’ has two or more inputs with one output. The
output is ‘1’ when either of the inputs are ‘1’ that is if any
of the input is high the output is high.
III.AND GATE
An‘AND gate’ gas two or more inputs and one output.
The output of AND gate is 1 only when the inputs are 1.
THE ‘’NOT GATE’’
The NOT gate is a one input and output logic gate. It
combines the input A with the output Y following the
Boolean expression.
Y=A
i.e.Y equals A. The way, the NOT gate gives the output, it
is also called invertor. It is represented by the symbol:

GATE
In practice an OR gate can be realized by electronic
circuit making use of 2(two) ideal p-n junction diodes D1
and D2. Here negative terminal of the battery is
grounded and corresponds to “0”level and the positive
terminal of the battery(i.e.voltage 5V here) corresponds
to “1”level. The output Y is at voltage C w.r.t earth. The
operation of the OR gate can be understood as follows.

THE ‘’AND GATE’’
The AND gate is also a two inputs and one output logic
gate. IT combines the inputs A and B with the output Y
following the Boolean expression.
Y=A.B
i.e.Y equals A and B. The AND gate is represented by the
symbol
An AND gate has two or more inputs and one output. The
output Y of AMD gate is 1 only when input A and B are
both 1,that is ,both the inputs should be high than the
output will be high. The truth table is given as:

PROCEDURE
The logic gate circuit board is connected to the mains
The power of the board is switched on.
OBSERVATION
Following are the observations made from the
experiment
INFERENCE
>For AND gate, when either of the inputs were low, the
output was also low. When both inputs were low, output
was low but when both the inputs were high, output was
also high.
>For OR gate, when either of the inputs were low or high
alternatively, the output was high. When both inputs
were low, outputs was low but when both the inputs were
high, output was also high.
>For NOT gate, when input is high, output is low and vice
versa. It inverses the input current.
CONCLUSION
Developing such a project was an enormous task but an
enlightening one too. The project work that has
perceived in our minds and the final outcome is slightly
different. While working on this project we encountered
many problems, theoretical as well as practical which
were reasonably difficult to manage. This was partly due
to my inexperience with the process of experimenting to
get the desired result and the approach in which the
initial project study was conducted.
