 INTRODUCTION
A gate is defined as a digital circuit which follows some logical
relationship between the input and output voltages. It is a digital circuit
which either allows a signal to pass through as stop, it is called a gate.
The logic gates are building blocks at digital electronics. They are used in
digital electronics to change on voltage level (input voltage) into another
(output voltage) according to some logical statement relating them.
A logic gate may have one or more inputs, but it has only one output. The
relationship between the possible values of input and output voltage is
expressed in the form of a table called truth table or table of combinations.
Truth table of a Logic Gates is a table that shows all the input and output
possibilities for the logic gate.
George Boole in 1980 invented a different kind of algebra based on binary
nature at the logic, this algebra of logic called BOOLEAN ALGEBRA.
A logical statement can have only two values, such as HIGH/LOW,
ON/OFF, CLOSED/OPEN, YES/NO, RIGHT/WRONG,
TRUE/FALSE, CONDUCTING/NON-CONDUCTING etc. The two
values of logic statements one denoted by the binary number 1 and 0. The
binary number 1 is used to denote the high value. The logical statements
that logic gates follow are called Boolean expressions

Logic gates or logic gate is an entity in electronics and mathematics
Boolean that turns one or more logic inputs to a logic output signal.
Logic gate is mainly implemented electronically using diodes or
transistors, but can also be built using the arrangement of
components that utilize the properties of electromagnetic (relay),
fluids, optical or even mechanical. Any Boolean algebra operation
can be associated with inputs and outputs represent the statements
of Boolean algebra. Although these circuits may be complex, they
may all be constructed from three basic devices. We have three
different types of logic gates .These are the AND gate, the OR gate
and the NOT gate.

(a) THE OR GATE is a device that combines A with B to give Y as
the result.
The OR gate has two or more inputs and one output. The logic
gate of OR gate with A and B input and Y output is shown
below:

In Boolean algebra, addition symbol (+) is referred as the OR.

The Boolean expression:
A+B=Y, indicates Y equals A OR B.

(b) THE AND GATE is a device that combines A with B to give Y

as the result.
The AND gate has two or more inputs and one output. The
logic gate of AND gate with A and B input and Y output is
shown below:

 In Boolean algebra, multiplication sign (either x or.) is referred
as the AND. The Boolean expression:
A.B=Y, indicates Y equals A AND B.

(c) THE NOT GATE is a device that inverts the inputs. The NOT
is a one input and one output. The logic gate of NOT gate with
A and Y output is shown below:

In Boolean algebra, bar symbol (_) is referred as the NOT. The

Boolean expression:
à =Y, indicates Y equals NOT A.

Aim:
TO DESIGN AND SIMULATE THE OR GATE CIRCUIT.

Two ideal p-n junction diode (D1 and D2).

Theory and Construction:

An OR gate can be realize by the electronic circuit, making
use of two diodes D1 and D2 as shown in the figure.
Here the negative terminal of the battery is grounded and
corresponds to the 0 level, and the positive terminal of the battery
(i.e. voltage 5V in the present case) corresponds to level 1. The
output Y is voltage at C w.r.t. earth.

The following interference can be easily drawn from the working
of electrical circuit is:

a) If switch A & B are open lamp do not glow (A=0, B=0),

hence Y=0.
b) If Switch A open B closed then (A=0, B=1) Lamp glow,
hence Y=1.
c) If switch A closed B open then (A=1, B=0) Lamp glow,
hence Y=1.
d) If switch A & B are closed then (A=1, B=1) Lamp glow,
hence Y=1.

resistance Rb and the emitter E is earthed. The collector is
connected to 5V battery. The output Y is voltage at C w.r.t. earth.
