A gate is a digital circuit that is

designed
for
performing
a
particular logical operation. As it
works according to some logical
relationship between input and
output voltages, so it is called
LOGIC GATE.
This forms the building block
of digital circuits in which diodes
are used to perform switching
function, they form the heart of
digital computers and are used
in control system.
