AND GATE
OBJECTIVES
To understand the functioning of an AND gate in digital logic circuits and to observe its behavior by
constructing a simple circuit.
CONTENTS:
I. MATERIALS REQUIRED:
II. PRINCIPLES:
A logic gate with two or more inputs and one output is called an AND gate. The logic of
logical multiplication is used by an AND gate. In this gate, the output is also low (zero) if either of
the inputs is low. The output will also be high if (1) all of the inputs are high. Although any number of
inputs can be used with an AND gate, the most typical versions have two and three inputs,
respectively.
III. PROCEDURES:
Setup:
1. Place the AND gate ICs on the breadboard. Pay attention to the orientation (notch or dot
indicating the correct orientation).
2. Connect power and ground to the breadboard using jumper wires.
3. Insert the required resistors for the LEDs in series with the LED anodes.
4. Connect the cathode of each LED to ground.
1. Connect the input pins of the AND gate to input switches (DIP Switch) through pull-up
resistors. Connect the other end of the switches to ground.
2. Connect the output of the AND gate to the anode of the LED through a current-limiting
resistor.
3. Connect the cathode of the first LED to ground.

Testing:
1. Power up the circuit using the power supply.
2. Test Circuit 1:
Press both input switches in Circuit 1. Observe what happen
Try pressing only one of the switches. Observe what happen
In a digital logic AND gate, the output will be high only when both of its input switches are
also high or 1. If you press both input switches in Circuit 1, assuming they are connected to the
AND gate as inputs, the output of the AND gate will be high or 1. If either or both of the input
switches are not pressed, the output of the AND gate will be low or 0
If you press only one of the input switches in Circuit 1 and the other remains unpressed ,
the output of the AND gate will be low or 0. It requires both inputs to be high for the AND gate to
produce a high output.
V. OBSERVATIONS:
My observation about the logic and gate is if both input is high or 1 the LED will turn on but if
only one input if high the LED will not turn on and if both input is low the result is same.
From the truth table the output is only 1 when all inputs are 1; otherwise, it's 0.
VI. CONCLUSIONs:
I conclude that AND gate works by evaluating the logical AND operation on its input signals
and producing an output that is HIGH only when all inputs are HIGH. It's a fundamental
building block in digital logic circuits and plays a crucial role in many electronic devices and
systems.
