THEORY:
A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. Most logic gates have two inputs and
one output. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions low (0) or
high (1), represented by different voltage levels. The logic state of a terminal can, and generally does,
change often, as the circuit processes data. In most logic gates, the low state is approximately zero
volts (0 V), while the high state is approximately five volts positive (+5 V). There are seven basic
logic gates: AND, OR, XOR, NOT, NAND, NOR, and XNOR.
AND GATE:
The AND gate is so named because, if 0 is called "false" and 1 is called "true," the gate acts in the
same way as the logical "and" operator. The following illustration and table show the circuit symbol
and logic combinations for an AND gate. (In the symbol, the input terminals are at left and the output
terminal is at right.) The output is "true" when both inputs are "true." Otherwise, the output is "false."

OR GATE:
The OR gate gets its name from the fact that it behaves after the fashion of the logical inclusive "or."
The output is "true" if either or both of the inputs are "true." If both inputs are "false," then the output
is "false."

NOT GATE:
A logical inverter, sometimes called a NOT gate to differentiate it from other types of electronic
inverter devices, has only one input. It reverses the logic state.

Using combinations of logic gates, complex operations can be performed. In theory, there is no limit
to the number of gates that can be arrayed together in a single device. But in practice, there is a limit
to the number of gates that can be packed into a given physical space. Arrays of logic gates are found
in digital integrated circuits (ICs). As IC technology advances, the required physical volume for each
individual logic gate decreases and digital devices of the same or smaller size become capable of
performing ever-more-complicated operations at ever-increasing speeds.
