Logic Gate
Introduction
Logic Gate is a type of electronic circuit that receives one or more inputs and provides only one output.
Concepts about Logic Gate
Logic Gate is an English word. Logic means logic, meaning it will work on rational matters. We know that computers can understand numbers 0 and 1. Logic Gate can actually understand numbers 0 and 1. The Boolean algebra, D-Morgan’s formula The logic gate is one of the things that needs to be done to bring about this whole thing. With this logic gate, the form of input and output can be understood.
Types of Logic Gates
The logic gate can be divided into the following ways:
Basic Logic Gate
- AND Gate
- OR Gate
- NOT Gate
Below is a diagram of the various gates where Symbol and Truth Table are given. Gate’s input is A, B, and output Q. Truth Table gives logical calculations of input and output status.
AND Gate
- There will be two more than two inputs and one output.
- The AND value is multiplication, that is, if all inputs are 1 then its output will be 1. If one input is 0 then its output will be 0.
Let’s say two inputs A and B. If input is 1 then output is 1, then A = 0, B = 1 or A = 1, B = 0 then their output will be 0. But if A = 1, B = 1, then the output will be 1. Because all the input values here are 1. The rest is shown in the figure through the truth table.
OR Gate
- There will be two or more than two inputs and one output.
- It will work as a sum, that is, if any input is 1, its output will be 1 otherwise the output will be 0.
Let’s say two inputs A and B. If input is 1 then output is 1, then A = 0, B = 1 or A = 1, B = 0 then their output will be 1. If A = 1, B = 1, then the output will be 1. Because all the input values here are 1. The rest is shown in the figure through the truth table.
NOT Gate
It will have one input and one output. The output will be the opposite of the input, that is, if the input is 1 then the output will be 0.
If A = 0 then the output will be 1.If A = 1, then the output will be 0.
Universal Gates
NAND Gate
The NAND gate operates like an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. It acts in the method of the logical operation and followed by negation. The output is false if the inputs are true. Else the output is true.
NOR Gate
The NOR gate is a combination of OR gate followed by a NOT gate. Its output is true if the inputs are false. Otherwise, the output is false.
Other Logic Gate(Exclusive Gates)
X-OR Gate
The X-OR ( exclusive-OR ) gate acts in the same way as the logical either/or. The output is true if 0ne of the input, not both, of the inputs, is true. The output is false if both inputs are false or both inputs are true. In another way of watching at this circuit is to observe that output is 1 if the inputs are various, but 0 if the inputs are the same.
X-NOR Gate
The X-NOR (exclusive-NOR) gate is a combination X-OR gate followed by an inverter. Its output is “true” if the inputs are the same 0, and “false” if the inputs are different.
Practical Application Of Logic Gate
During the above discussion about various digital logic gates, we have mainly discussed the design, property, and operation of them. In this section, we will look at various applications of logic gates. Their applications are appointed mainly based upon their truth table i.e. their mode of operations. In the discussion, we will look at the applications of many normal logic gates as well.
Application Of OR Gate
Wherever the occurrence of any one or more than one event is required to detected or some actions are to take after their occurrence, in all those cases OR gates can use. It can be explained with an example. Suppose in a technical plant if one or more than one parameter overpass the safe value, some protective measures are required to be done. In that case, the OR gate is used. We are going to show this with the help of the below diagram.
The above figure is a normal schematic diagram where an OR gate is used to detect overpass of temperature or pressure and produce a command signal for the system to take required actions.
Application Of AND Gate
There are two applications of AND gate as Enable gate and Inhibit gate. Enable gate means allowance of data by a channel and the Inhibit gate is just the reverse of that process i.e. disallowance of data through a channel. We are getting to show an enabling operation to understand it in an easier way. Suppose within the measurement of the frequency of a pulsed waveform. For metering of frequency, a gating pulse of known frequency is dispatched to enable the passage of the waveform whose frequency is to be measured. The diagram given below shows the arrangement of the explained operation.
Application Of X-OR/X-NOR Gate
These types of logic gates are used in the generation of parity generation and checking units. The two diagrams below show the even and odd parity generator circuits respectively for four data.
With the help of these gates, the parity check operation can be also performed. The diagrams are given below show even and odd parity check.
Figure (a) shows the parity check using Ex-OR gates and figure (b) shows the parity check using Ex-NOR gates.
Application Of NOT Gate
NOT gates are also known as an inverter because they invert the output given to them and show the reverse result. Now the CMOS inverters are generally used to build square wave oscillators that are used for generating clock signals. The advantage of using these they consume low power and their interfacing is very easy compared to other logic gates.
The above figure shows the most fundamental circuit made of ring configuration to generate a square wave oscillator. The frequency of this type of generator is given by
Where n represents the number of inverters and tp shows the propagation delay per gate.

Your style is so unique in comparison to other people I’ve read stuff from. I appreciate you for posting when you’ve got the opportunity, Guess I will just bookmark this page.|

There is certainly a great deal to know about this issue.
I love all of the points you made.
Hello there! Do you use Twitter? I’d like to follow you if that
would be ok. I’m undoubtedly enjoying your blog and
look forward to new updates.
Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic nevertheless I’d figured I’d ask.
Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog post or vice-versa?
My blog covers a lot of the same subjects as yours
and I feel we could greatly benefit from each other. If you’re
interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you!
Excellent blog by the way!
Hey I am so glad I found your weblog, I really found you by mistake, while
I was browsing on Google for something else, Anyhow I
am here now and would just like to say kudos for a marvelous post and a all round exciting blog (I
also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to look over it all at
the minute but I have book-marked it and also included your
RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do
keep up the superb work.
It’s going to be end of mine day, except before end I am reading this great article to improve my experience.
Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my apple ipad
and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is
now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is entirely
off topic but I had to share it with someone!
Hi mates, pleasant piece of writing and good arguments commented at this place, I am actually
enjoying by these.
