The Exclusive-OR Gate (Ex-OR Gate)

The output of an Exclusive-OR gate ONLY goes "HIGH" when its two input terminals are at
"DIFFERENT" logic levels with respect to each other and they can both be at logic level "1"
or both at logic level "0" giving us the Boolean expression of. Q= A'B+ AB'. The
Exclusive-OR Gate function is achieved is achieved by combining standard gates together to
form more complex gate functions. An example of a 2-input Exclusive-OR gate is given

The Exclusive-NOR Gate
The output of an Exclusive-NOR gate ONLY goes "HIGH" when its two input terminals, A
and B are at the "SAME" logic level which can be either at a logic level "1" or at a logic level
"0". Then this type of gate gives and output "1" when its inputs are "logically equal" or
"equivalent" to each other, which is why an Exclusive-NOR gate is sometimes called an
Equivalence Gate.
