Logic Gates


  • These are elementary building blocks of digital circuit.
  • It has one or more inputs and only one output..
  • Output is active only for certain input combinations.
  • Common Logic gates are AND, OR, NAND, NOR.
 1. AND Gate:
  • The AND gate is an electronic circuit that gives a high output (1) only all inputs give are high.

 2. OR Gate:
  • The OR gate is an electronic circuit that gives a high output (1) if one or more of its inputs are high.

 3. NAND Gate:
  • NAND gate is a electronic circuit that gives a low output (0), if two inputs are high.
  • Works in the opposite function of AND gate.

 4. NOR Gate:
  • NOR gate is a electronic circuit that gives a high output (1), if two inputs are low.
  • Works in the opposite function of OR gate.
