 LOGIC GATES/CIRCUITS  1-2 INTRODUCTION/DEFINITION, TYPES, SYMBOLS AND USES Objective:  At the end of the lesson, the students should be able to: 1. Define logic gates 2. State the types of logic gate 3. Draw logic gates symbols 4.State the uses of logic gates DEFINITION OF LOGIC GATES A logic gate is an elementary building block of a digital circuit. M ost logic gates have two inputs and one output. At any given moment, every terminal is in one of the two binary conditions low (0) or high (1), represented by different voltage levels. Types of Standard Single Logic gate There are three types of standard single logic gates. They are: 1. AND gate 2. OR gate 3. NOT gate Alternative Logic Gates are: 4. NAND gate 5. NOR gate 6. EX -OR (Exclusive OR) gate 1.    AND gate :  AND gate will give a high output only if all of the inputs are high. It means multiplication (x). For example if A = 0 and B= 1, A AND B = 0 X 1 = 0 AND GATE SYMBOL 2. OR gate : This  is a...
