LOGIC GATE (ELECTRONICS)
The basic building block of digital circuit is a logic gate .The logic gate enter two or more input signals for designed and produced one output signals .The terminal of logic gate are two conditions 0(for low) & 1 (For high)
The basic gate are AND , OR, & NOT gate where the complex gate are NAND , NOR , & XOR gate & XNOR gate. And NAND gate and NOR gate are called universal gate.
AND gate:
The function of AND gate is identical .AND gates takes two or more signal and return only one signal . AND gate is called logic multiplication.
truth table :

AND gate for 2-input |
The boolean expression for the 2-input gate is F = A . B
for the 3-input gates is F= A . B . C

AND gate for 2-input |
OR gate:
The function of OR gate is identical.OR gates takes two or more signal as input and give output only one output. OR gate is called logic addition.

OR gate for 2-input |
The Boolean expression for the 2-input gate is F = A + B
for the 3-input gate is F= A + B + C

OR gate for 2-input |
NOT gate:
The function of NOT gate is identical to that of NOT gate operator. The NOT gate circuit inverts the logic sense of binary signals .so therefor called Inverters.

NOT gate for 2-input |
The Boolean expression for the 2-inputs gate is F = A'

NOT gate for 2-input |
NAND gate:
This gate is combination of AND and NOT gates. So it is a complex gate. The graphically combination of NAND gate is AND gate symbol.

NAND gate for 2-input |
NOR gate:
The gate of function is combination of the OR and NOT gate . The graphically symbol of NOR gate symbol with bubble .NOR gate is also reffered to as inverted OR gate.

NOR gate for 2-input |
The Boolean expression for 2-inputs gate is F = (A + B)'
for 3-inputs gate is F= (A + B + C)'

NOR gate for 2-input |
XOR gate:
The XOR gate stand for exclusive OR gate. XOR gate are use for two way commonly use in our homes for staircase light .
