Electrical & Electronics Engineering: Explanation Project On Logic Gates
In Boolean algebra, addition symbol (+) is referred as the OR. The Boolean
expression: A+B = Y indicates Y equals A OR B.
i. If switch A and B open (A=0, B=0)then, Y=0
ii. If switch A open B closed (A=0, B=1)then,
Y=1
iii. If switch A closed B open (A=1, B=0)then,
Y=1
iv. If switch A & B are closed (A=1, B=1)then,
Y=1
THE AND GATE –
It is a device that combines A with B to give Y as the result. The AND gate has two
or more inputs and one output. The logic gate of AND gate with A and B input and
Y output is shown below:
In Boolean algebra, multiplication sign (either x or.) is referred as the AND. The
Boolean expression: A.B = Y indicates Y equals A✕B.
i. If both switches A and B are open (A=0,
B=0) then, Y=0.
ii. If Switch A closed and B open (A=1, B=0)
then, Y =0.
iii. If switch A open and B closed (A=0, B=1)
then, Y=0.
iv. If switch A and B both closed (A=1, B=1)
then, Y =1.
i. If switch A is open (i.e. A=0),
then, Y=1.
ii. If Switch A is closed (i.e. A=1),
then, Y=0.
THE NOR GATE
The Logic NOR Gate gate is a combination of the digital logic OR gate and
an inverter or NOT gate connected together in series.The inclusive NOR
(Not-OR) gate has an output that is normally at logic level “1” and only
goes “LOW” to logic level “0” when ANY of its inputs are at logic level “1”.
Boolean expression of NAND gate is expressed as Y=(A.B)’ and is being read as 'A and B
negated'.
i. If Switch A & B open (A=0, B=0) then Y=1.
ii. If Switch A open B closed (A=0, B=1)then,
Y=1.
iii. If switch A closed B open (A=1, B=0)then,
Y=1.
iv. If switch A & B are closed (A=1, B=1) then,
Y=0.
THE Exclusive-OR gate (XOR Gate)
Exclusive OR gate – is a digital logic gate that gives a true (i.e. a HIGH or 1)
output when the number of true inputs is odd. An XOR gate implements an
exclusive OR, i.e., a true output result occurs if one – and only one – of the gate’s
inputs is true. If both inputs are false (i.e. LOW or 0) or both inputs are true, the
output is false.
i. If Switch A & B open (A=0, B=0) then Y=0.
ii. If Switch A open B closed (A=0, B=1)then,
Y=1.
iii. If switch A closed B open (A=1, B=0)then,
Y=1.
iv. If switch A & B are closed (A=1, B=1) then,
Y=0.
THE Exclusive-NOR gate (XNOR Gate)
Exclusive NOR – is a digital logic gate whose function is the logical complement of the
exclusive OR gate (XOR gate). Logically, an XNOR gate is a NOT gate followed by an
XOR gate.Basically the “Exclusive-NOR” gate is a combination of the Exclusive-OR
gate and the NOT gate but has a truth table similar to the standard NOR gate in that it
has an output that is normally at logic level “1” and goes “LOW” to logic level “0”
when ANY of its inputs are at logic level “1”
i. If Switch A & B open (A=0, B=0) then Y=1.
ii. If Switch A open B closed (A=0, B=1)then,
Y=0.
iii. If switch A closed B open (A=1, B=0)then,
Y=0.
iv. If switch A & B are closed (A=1, B=1) then,
Y=1.
