Logic Gates Gr11e
AND Gate
AND gate - the output will be high only if
both inputs are high. If either of the
inputs is low, then the output will be low.
Rule: The AND gate is a circuit which
gives a high output(logic 1) if all its
inputs are high.
The output is 1 only when both
inputs are 1
OR Gates
Rule: The OR gate is a circuit which
gives a high output if one or more of its
inputs are high. A plus sign(+) is used
to indicate the OR operation.\
The output value is 1 when at
least one input value is 1
NAND Gate
Rule: The NAND gate is a NOT- AND
circuit which is equivalent to an AND
circuit followed by a NOT circuit.
The output of the NAND gate is high if
any of its inputs is low.
NOR Gate
Rule: The NOR gate is a NOT-OR
circuit which is equivalent to an OR
circuit followed by a NOT circuit.
The output of the NOR gateis low if any
of its inputs is high
EOR Gate
Rule: the Exclusive-OR circuit which is
equivalent to an OR circuit followed by a
NOT circuit. The output of the NOR
gate is low if any of its inputs is high.
Truth Tables

The function of these building blocks
are summarized by means of a :
Truth Table
The truth table shows all possible
input/output combinations for two inputs
A truth table with n inputs (logic
variables) has 2n rows.
