    Six (6) Types of Logic Gates

    Uploaded by

    Logic gates take binary inputs (0 or 1) and produce a binary output. The document describes six common logic gates - NOT, AND, OR, NAND, NOR, and XOR - and provides their symbols, logic notation, Boolean algebra representation, and truth tables. It explains that logic circuits are created by connecting multiple logic gates together to perform a particular function, and describes the steps to create a truth table for a logic circuit, including adding temporary output letters for each gate and solving the values in sequence.

    Logic Gates

    • Logic gates take binary inputs and produce a binary output.


    • The values it deals with are 0 and 1 or on and off.
    • The binary states are the electrical voltage states, i.e. 0 represents an ON state and 1 represents
    an OFF state.
    • Multiple logic gates are used to create a logic circuit.
    • Logic gates are a crucial element of a logic circuit.
    • Different logic gates have different characteristics.
    • Truth Tables are used to verify the outputs of the logic gates.

    Six (6) Types of Logic Gates:


    • This figure illustrates the symbols of different logic gates.

    1. NOT Gate:

    • NOT Gate is the most simple logic gate. 


    • It takes a single input and inverts the value.
    • If an input is 0, NOT will make it a 1 and vice versa.
    • It is represented by 

    Logic Notation: X = NOT A


    Boolean Algebra X = 

    Truth Table:

    2. AND Gate:

    • AND Gate produces ‘1’ as an output only and only if all inputs are ‘1’.
    • If anyone input is '0' then the result will be '0'.
    • It is represented by A.B.

    Logic Notation: X = A AND B

    Boolean Algebra X = A.B


    Truth Table:

    3. OR Gate:

    • OR Gate produces ‘1’ in output if a single input is 1.


    • It produces a ‘0’ in output only if both inputs are ‘0’.
    • It is represented by a ‘+” sign.

    Logic Notation: X = A OR B
    Boolean Algebra X = A + B

    Truth Table:

    4. NAND Gate:

    • It is also known as the NOT AND Gate.


    • It is the reverse of AND Gate.
    • It gives ‘1’ in output if and only if A and B both are NOT ‘1’.
    Logic Notation: X = A NAND B

    Boolean Algebra X = 

    Truth Table:

    5. NOR Gate:

    • It is also known as NOT OR Gate.


    • It is the reverse of OR Gate.
    • It produces ‘1’ in output if NOT a single input is 1.

    Logic Notation: X = A NOR B

    Boolean Algebra X =

    Truth Table:

    6. XOR Gate:
    • It is also known as Exclusive OR Gate.
    • It produces ‘1’ in output if, (A is ‘1’ AND B is ‘0’) OR (A is ‘0’ AND B is ‘1’).
    Logic Notation: X = A XOR B

    Boolean Algebra X = 

    OR it can also be written as,

    Truth Table:
    Logic Circuits:

    • Logic circuits are created by connecting logic gates together.


    • These circuits are created to perform a particular function.
    • A logic circuit truth table is required to understand its function’s nature.
    How to Create a Logic Circuit Truth Table:

    • It is considerably complicated to create a logic circuit truth table.


    • But if you follow the steps defined below, it will become easy for you to make it yourself.
    • Don’t overdo yourself by trying to do everything in your head.

    Steps:

    1. First, add temporary output letters after each logic gate in a circuit as shown below:

    2. Now find out the values of these new letters first i.e. K,L & M.
    3. As you can see from the figure, that K is NOT A. 
    4. L is the output of A OR B 
    5. M is the output of K AND L.
    6. And the final output will be M AND L.
    7. This can also be written in the equation as X = 
    8. Therefore, it is advisable to solve in the same sequence and you will get your truth table easily.

    Note: Just as you can make a boolean equation by seeing the logic circuit you can also create a
    logic circuit from the equation.

    Practice Exercise: Create a logic circuit and truth table for the following:
