NOT Gate Using Transistor

Theory :
A Boolean operator with only one Value variable that has the value One when the variable is zero and
vice versa NOT Gate is called the inverter because output state is always opposite to the input state , So
when the input is Low signal output is High signal and vice versa . It is called NOT Gate .

Becouse the output state is always opposite to that of the input state . A transistor may be used
as inverter. NOT Gate is a nice digital logic Gate . ANOT Gate perform a logical negation on its output .

In other words, If the input is true then the output will be false.

Symbolic Representation :
Boolean Expression :
Boolean expression of NOT Gate is

Where A` is reciprocal of A it means that if input is “ 0 ” or Low then output is “ 1 ”


or High

Truth Table :
ONE Input NOT Gate

Two Input NOT Gate


Apparatus :

i. Bread Board

ii. Resistors

iii. Diodes

iv. Battery

v. Connecting Wires

vi. Buttons

vii. LED

Procedure :

 When we apply “ 1 ” input then we see that both diodes are forward biased . Here the
current has two possibilities to follow, but Diode – 1 is the best and efficient path to travel
and all current flow towards the earth and LED will remain off .

 When we apply “ 0 ” input then both the Diodes are reverse biased and current cannot
flow and Vcc current flow towards the Led and LED Glow up .
