Integrated circuits
An integrated circuit (IC), sometimes called a chip or
microchip, is a semiconductor wafer on which thousands or
millions of tiny resistors, capacitors, and transistors are
fabricated. An IC can function as an amplifier, oscillator, timer,
counter, computer memory, or microprocessor. A particular IC
is categorized as either linear analog or digital, depending on
its intended application.
IC's are of Linear, digital and mixed types. Linear ICs have continuously variable
output (theoretically capable of attaining an infinite number of states) that
depends on the input signal level. As the term implies, the output signal level is a
linear function of the input signal level. Linear ICs are used as audio-frequency
(AF) and radio-frequency (RF) amplifiers. The operational amplifier (op amp) is a
common device in these applications.
Digital ICs operate at only a few defined levels or states, rather than over a
continuous range of signal amplitudes. These devices are used in computers,
computer networks, modems, and frequency counters. The fundamental building
blocks of digital ICs are logic gates, which work with binary data, that is, signals
that have only two different states, called low (logic 0) and high (logic 1) or OFF
and ON or this can be represented by False and True .

Logic Gate:- gate is a device that performs a basic operation on electrical signals
Gates are combined into circuits to perform more complicated tasks
Truth Table
Digital gates use one or more inputs to produce an output.
Truth tables are the easiest way of describing how a gate behaves. The truth table
gives the state of the output for all possible values of inputs.
Conventionally, letters A, B, C…etc are used for inputs and Q for output.
NOT Gate
By definition, if the input value for a NOT gate is 0, the output value is 1, and if the
input value is 1, the output is 0
A NOT gate is sometimes referred to as an inverter because it inverts
AND Gate
AND gate accepts two input signals
If the two input values for an AND gate are both 1, the output is 1; otherwise,
the output is 0
OR Gate
If the two input values are both 0, the output value is 0;
otherwise, the output is 1
NAND Gates
NOR Gates
XOR, or exclusive OR, gate
An XOR gate produces 0 if its two inputs are the same, and a 1 otherwise
Note the difference between the XOR gate and the OR gate; they differ only
in one input situation
When both input signals are 1, the OR gate produces a 1 and the XOR
produces a 0
2. One NAND input pin is connected to the input signal A while all
other input pins are connected to logic 1. The output will be A’.
Implementing AND Using only NAND Gates
An AND gate can be replaced by NAND gates as shown in the figure (The
AND is replaced by a NAND gate with its output complemented by a NAND
gate inverter).
2. One NOR input pin is connected to the input signal A while all
other input pins are connected to logic 0. The output will be A’.
Implementing OR Using only NOR Gates
An OR gate can be replaced by NOR gates as shown in the figure (The OR is
replaced by a NOR gate with its output complemented by a NOR gate inverter)
Thus, the NOR gate is a universal gate since it can implement the AND, OR
and
NOT functions.
Equivalent Gates:
The shown figure summarizes important cases of gate equivalence. Note that
bubbles indicate a complement operation (inverter).
A NAND gate is equivalent to an inverted-input OR gate.
A NAND gate is equivalent to an inverted-input OR gate.
.
A NOR gate is equivalent to an inverted-input AND gate.
Two NOT gates in series are same as a buffer because they cancel each other
as A’’ =A.
