Logic Gates - Easy Notes for Beginners

Introduction to Logic Gates

Logic gates are basic building blocks of digital circuits. Each gate performs a specific logical function using

binary input and produces a binary output (0 or 1).

1. NOT Gate

The NOT gate is also called an inverter. It gives the opposite output of the input.

If input is 0, output is 1.

If input is 1, output is 0.

2. AND Gate

AND gate gives output 1 only if all inputs are 1.

Otherwise, it gives 0.

Example:

0 AND 0 = 0

0 AND 1 = 0

1 AND 1 = 1

3. OR Gate

OR gate gives output 1 if at least one input is 1.

If all inputs are 0, then output is 0.

Example:

0 OR 0 = 0

0 OR 1 = 1

1 OR 1 = 1

4. NAND Gate

NAND = NOT + AND

First perform AND, then reverse the result.

Example:

1 AND 1 = 1 becomes 0

0 AND 1 = 0 becomes 1

5. NOR Gate

NOR = NOT + OR

First perform OR, then reverse the result.

Example:

0 OR 0 = 0 becomes 1

1 OR 1 = 1 becomes 0

6. XOR Gate (Exclusive OR)

XOR gate gives 1 when inputs are different.

It gives 0 when inputs are same.

Example:

0 XOR 0 = 0

0 XOR 1 = 1

1 XOR 1 = 0

7. XNOR Gate (Exclusive NOR)

XNOR gate gives 1 when inputs are same.

It gives 0 when inputs are different.

Example:

0 XNOR 0 = 1

0 XNOR 1 = 0

1 XNOR 1 = 1

Truth Tables and Symbols

Each gate has a symbol and a truth table that shows all possible input-output combinations. These tables are

very useful to understand the behavior of logic gates.

Conclusion

Logic gates help computers make decisions using binary numbers. They are very important in all electronic

devices.
