What is a Logic Gate?

A logic gate is an electronic circuit designed by using electronic components like


diodes, transistors, resistors, and more. As the name implies, a logic gate is
designed to perform logical operations in digital systems like computers,
communication systems, etc.

Therefore, we can say that the building blocks of a digital circuit are logic
gates, which execute numerous logical operations that are required by any digital
circuit. A logic gate can take two or more inputs but only produce one output. The
output of a logic gate depends on the combination of inputs and the logical
operation that the logic gate performs.

Logic gates use Boolean algebra to execute logical processes. Logic gates are found
in nearly every digital gadget we use on a regular basis. Logic gates are used in
the architecture of our telephones, laptops, tablets, and memory devices.

Types of Logic Gates


A logic gate is a digital gate that allows data to be manipulated. Logic gates, use
logic to determine whether or not to pass a signal. Logic gates, on the other hand,
govern the flow of information based on a set of rules.

The logic gates can be classified into the following major types:

1. Basic Logic Gates


There are three basic logic gates:

AND Gate
OR Gate
NOT Gate
2. Universal Logic Gates
In digital electronics, the following two logic gates are considered as universal
logic gates:

NOR Gate
NAND Gate
