Logic Gates
Logic gates are the building Mocks of pital electronics, The fundamental logic gates
Inclide the INVERT (NOT), AND, NAND, OR, NOR, exlasive OR (XOR), and
‘exclusive NOR ONOR) gates. Ea ofthese gates perforin iferentlogial opera

Bubble pushing invoves the flowing rics: Fst, change an AND gate to an OR
gate or change an OR gate to an AND gate, Second, a inversion bubbles tothe
Jnputs and outputs where there were none, while removing the original buben
‘That's it. You can prove io youself that this works by examining the corresponding
truth abies forthe orginal gate and the bubble-pushed gate or you can work ut the
Boolean expressions using De Morgan's theorem, Figure 1223 shows exampies of
