Logic Gates:

•Logic gates are the digital circuits capable of performing a particular logic
function by operating on a number of binary inputs.
•Logic gates are the basic building blocks of any digital circuit.

Logic gates are built using transistors

􀂄 NOT gate can be implemented by a single transistor
􀂄 AND gate requires 3 transistors

 Other logic gates= derived gates

Basic Logic Gates-
 Basic Logic Gates are the fundamental logic gates using
which universal logic gates and other logic gates are
constructed.
1 AND Gate-
The output of AND gate is high (‘1’) if all of its inputs are high (‘1’).
The output of AND gate is low (‘0’) if any one of its inputs is low (‘0’).

2. OR Gate-
 The output of OR gate is high (‘1’) if any one of its inputs is high (‘1’).
 The output of OR gate is low (‘0’) if all of its inputs are low (‘0’).
