What Is The Logic Gates?

Logic gates are integrated circuit elements that form the basic building blocks of digital systems. These integrated circuit elements have one or more inputs and one output. There are certain logical rules between the input and output results. These rules are called Boolean Algebra.

The mentioned input and output results are represented by numbers 1 and 0. In logic circuits, the number 1 means 'Yes' or 'True'. The number 0 represents 'None' or 'False'.

As mentioned above, logic gates are integrated circuit elements and there are various basic circuit elements that make up the internal structure of these integrated circuit elements. We can list these circuit elements as follows:

• Transistor
• Diode
• MOSFET
• FET
• CMOS

The internal structure of each integrated circuit will be shown in the subtitles.

What Are The Usage Areas of Logic Gate?

Logic gates are included in many electronic devices today. To list them roughly:

• Tablets
• Smartphones
• Various memory devices

Types of Logic Gates

Logic gates basically consist of 4 gates. These are:

• AND
• OR
• NOT
• BUFFER

In addition to the basic logic gates, there are logic gates derived from these gates. These are:

• NAND
• NOR
• XOR
• XNOR

In this series of articles, topics such as each logic gate, its functions, truth tables, Karnaugh Map, and Boolean Algebra will be explained in detail.
