Symbol, Expression, Truth

Table and Function of Gates
 GATES
• Seven types of Gates are ;
i) NOT Gate
ii) OR Gate
iii) AND Gate
iv) NOR Gate
v) NAND Gate
vi) Exclusive OR Gate
vii) Exclusive NOR Gate

2
 NOT Gate

This Gate has only one input and one output

Function: It inverts the input signal/voltage/logic on

its output, therefore it is also called as ‘Inverter’

If a binary 1 is applied to its i/p, it produces a binary 0 and

vice versa.

It is given the name ‘NOT’ because its output is NOT

similar or equal to the input

3
 NOT Gate

• Expression: Output = /Input or Y = /A

(where Y = o/p & A is i/p)
The expression expresses that o/p is opposite of i/p)

• Truth Table:
Input Output
A Y
0 1
1 0
• Symbol:
Input A Output Y
4
 OR Gate
• This Gate has two or more inputs and only
one output
• Function: If logic 1 is applied to any one or
more inputs of an OR Gate then it produces
High output and if logic 0 is applied to all the
inputs then it produces low output
• It is given the name ‘OR’ because it produces
a High o/p if either A i/p OR B i/p is high

5
 OR Gate
• Expression: Y = A + B
(where Y = o/p, A & B are i/ps)

• Truth Table: Inputs Output

A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 1
1 0 1
1 1 1
• Symbol:
Input A Input B
Output Y

6
 AND Gate
• This Gate has two or more inputs and only one
output
• Function: If logic 0 is applied to any one or
more inputs of an AND Gate then it produces
Low output and if logic 1 is applied to all the
inputs then it produces High output
• It is given the name ‘AND’ because it produces
a High o/p if A i/p AND B i/p are High

7
 AND Gate
• Expression: Y = A . B
(where Y = o/p, A & B are i/ps)

• Truth Table: Inputs Output

A B Y
0 0 0
0 1 0
1 0 0
1 1 1
• Symbol:
Input A Input B
Output Y
