A logic gate is a building block of a digital circuit.

Most logic gates have two inputs and one output and are based on
Boolean algebra.
At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary
conditions false (high) or true (low).
False represents 0, and true represents 1.

Depending on the type of logic gate being used and the combination
of inputs, the binary output will differ.
 A logic gate can be thought of like a light switch, wherein one
position the output is off—0, and in another, it is on—1. Logic gates are
commonly used in integrated circuits (IC).
Logic gates -2 types

1) Basic logic gates – OR ,AND, NOT

2) Universal logic gates- NAND, NOR

3) Other gates- XOR , XNOR

TRUTH TABLE

The relationship between input and output can

be expressed in a tabular form called Truth Table
 BASIC LOGIC GATES

The OR, AND and NOT gates are called the basic
logic gates or basic building blocks of a digital
system because they are the essential blocks of a
digital system.
AND GATE
OR GATE
 NOT GATE

NOT gate is also known as Inverter

NAND GATE
A NOT-AND operation is known as
NAND operation
XOR GATE
NOR GATE

A NOT-OR operation is known as NOR

operation
XNOR GATE
