■To study and understand the OR gate.
■Implement the OR gate.
■Study the specifications of OR gate.
Introduction
■The logical expressions are translated into device
structures called logic gates.
■A single logic gate is usually made of several transistors
and shares space with many others in an integrated circuit.
■The Logic Gates are building blocks at digital electronics.
■A logic gate may have one or more inputs, but it has only
one output.
Logic OR Gate
■A logic OR gate is a logical gate that produces inclusive
disjunction.
■It is one of the basic gates used in Boolean algebra and
electronic.
■A logic OR gate consists of one or more inputs, but with only
a single output.
■OR gates are used in applications and circuits where
multiple sources of power are available to do the same action.
Digital Logic “OR” Gate Types
1. The 2-input Logic OR Gate
■ The logic symbol & truth table of two input OR gate are shown in figure below.
The symbol for OR operation is “+”.
■ With input variables A & B the Boolean expression for output can be written as;
X=A+B
Cont.
2. The 3-input Logic OR Gate
■ The OR function can have any number of individual inputs. However,
commercial available OR gates are available in 2, 3, or 4 inputs types.
Cont.
3. Multi-input OR Gate
■ The Boolean Expression for 6-input OR gate will therefore be:
Q = (A+B) + (C+D) + (E+F)
Applications of Logic OR Gate
■ OR gate is used in many real life applications. One of its applications, “Alarm
circuit for car door system”.
■ Alarm is designed by connecting four circuits to the 4 doors of the car when the
door is open, the circuit generates 1 and when the door is closed generates 0.
■ When any one or more doors are opened, then the output is 1, then the alarm
rings.
Advantages and Disadvantages of
OR Gate
The advantages of Logic OR Gate are:
■ Logical Operations are performed using Boolean algebra which makes the
circuit design more economical and simple.
■ Logic ‘1’ and Logic ‘0’ can be easily distinguished.

The disadvantages of Logic OR Gate are:

■ Operating Voltage is limited.
■ Time delay occurs between input and output.
Conclusion
■The OR gate is a digital logic gate that implements logical disjunction.
■The output assumes the logic 1 state, even if one of its inputs is in logic 1
state.
■Its output assumes logic 0 state, only when each one of its inputs is in
logic 0 state.
■The OR gate is used in many applications, such as home or car alarms.
■This gate contains many advantages and disadvantages.
