INTRODUCTION Boolean Algebra is the mathematical foundation of digital circuits. Boolean Algebra specifies the relationship between Boolean variables which is used to design combinational logic circuits using Logic Gates. The truth table shows a logic circuit's output response to all of the input combinations. A computer carries out all operations by the combination of signals that pass through standard blocks of built-in circuits. Logic gates are electronic circuits that implement the basic functions of Boolean Algebra. The common use of logic gate elements is to act as switch. LOGIC GATES Logic gates are the basic building blocks of any digital system. In a circuit, logic gates work based on a combination of digital signals coming from its inputs. Most logic gates have two inputs and one output, and they are based on Boolean algebra. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions: true or false. False represents 0, and true represents 1. Depending on the type of logic gate being used and the combination of inputs, the binary output will differ. Logic gates are commonly used in integrated circuits (IC). As the name implies, a logic gate is designed to perform logical operations in digital systems like computers, communication systems, etc. TYPES OF LOGIC GATES There are seven basic types of logic gates and each gate has its individual symbol: 1. NOT 2. AND 3. OR 4. NAND 5. NOR 6. XOR 7. XNOR NOT A NOT gate accepts one input value and produces one output value. By definition, if the input value for a NOT gate is 0, the output value is 1. and if the input value is 1, the output value is 0. A NOT is sometime referred to as an inverter because it inverts the input value. AND An AND gate accepts two input signals. If the two input values for an AND gate are both 1, the output is 1; otherwise the output is 0. The AND gate is so named because, if 0 is called "false" and 1 is called "true," the gate acts in the same way as the logical "and" operator. OR If the input values are both 0, the output value is 0; otherwise the output value is 1. The OR gate gets its name from the fact that it behaves after the fashion of the logical inclusive "or.“ NAND The NAND gate operates as an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. It acts in the manner of the logical operation "and" followed by negation. The output is "false" if both inputs are "true." Otherwise, the output is "true.“ It is a universal gate. NAND gate can take two or more inputs at a time and produces one output based on the combination of inputs applied. NOR The NOR gate is a combination OR gate followed by an inverter. Its output is "true" if both inputs are "false." Otherwise, the output is "false." It is a universal gate. A NOR gate can have two or more inputs and gives an output. XOR XOR, or exclusive OR gate. In digital electronics, there is a specially designed logic gate named, XOR gate, which is used in digital circuits to perform modulo sum. An XOR gate produces 0 if its two inputs are the same, and a 1 otherwise. XNOR It is also called the Ex-NOR or Exclusive NOR gate. It is a combination of two logic gates namely, XOR gate and NOT gate. XNOR gate takes only two inputs and produces one output. Its output is "true" if the inputs are the same, and "false" if the inputs are different. CONCLUSION In summary, the various logic gates or logic operators involved in the study of the subject include the basic AND, OR, NOT, and their derivatives, which are NAND, NOR, and XOR. It goes without saying that they all have unique functions associated with data processing and decision-making. It is only through the knowledge of these gates that an efficient and reliable digital system can be designed, from a simple calculator to modern and advanced computers. As technology evolves, so too does our reliance on these foundational components, emphasizing their enduring significance in shaping our digital world. BIBLIOGRAPHY
