Logic gates in digital electronics

Logic gates are fundamental building blocks of digital circuits, performing basic logical functions. Here are some common types of logic gates along with their functions and truth tables:

1. AND Gate:
   • Function: Produces a HIGH output only if all of its inputs are HIGH.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	B	Output
     0	0	0
     0	1	0
     1	0	0
     1	1	1

2. OR Gate:
   • Function: Produces a HIGH output if any of its inputs are HIGH.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	B	Output
     0	0	0
     0	1	1
     1	0	1
     1	1	1

3. NOT Gate (Inverter):
   • Function: Produces the opposite (complementary) value of its input.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	Output
     0	1
     1	0

4. NAND Gate:
   • Function: Produces a LOW output only if all of its inputs are HIGH.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	B	Output
     0	0	1
     0	1	1
     1	0	1
     1	1	0

5. NOR Gate:
   • Function: Produces a LOW output if any of its inputs are HIGH.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	B	Output
     0	0	1
     0	1	0
     1	0	0
     1	1	0

6. XOR Gate (Exclusive OR):
   • Function: Produces a HIGH output if the number of HIGH inputs is odd.
   • Truth Table:
     

     A	B	Output
     0	0	0
     0	1	1
     1	0	1
     1	1	0

These basic logic gates can be combined in various ways to perform complex logical functions in digital circuits.
