Logic gates

Logic gates are electronic devices that perform logical operations on one or more input signals and produce an output signal based on the result of the operation. They are the building blocks of digital circuits and are used in computer systems, calculators, and many other electronic devices.

There are several types of logic gates, including:

1. AND gate: Produces a high output (1) only if all its inputs are high (1).

2. OR gate: Produces a high output (1) if any of its inputs are high (1).

3. NOT gate: Produces a high output (1) if its input is low (0), and vice versa.

4. NAND gate: Produces a high output (1) if any of its inputs are low (0).

5. NOR gate: Produces a high output (1) only if all its inputs are low (0).

6. XOR gate: Produces a high output (1) if the number of high inputs is odd.

Logic gates can be combined to create more complex logic functions, such as flip-flops, counters, and registers. They are used to process and manipulate digital signals in electronic circuits.
