KS4 Electricity – Electronic systems
Logic gates Logic gates can have only one of two values 0 or 1, low or high. As the signals can only have one of two values, they are DIGITAL signals. The outputs for logic gates depend upon the inputs and are shown in a truth table.
Use a textbook or other resource to fill in the table below: Logic gate Circuit symbol NOT OR AND
Use a textbook or other resource to fill in the table below: Logic gate Circuit symbol NOR NAND
NOT gate inverts the input signal Output 1 1 NOT gate inverts the input signal
OR Input A Input B Output 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 Output is 1 if either of the inputs is 1, or if both inputs are 1.
AND Input A Input B Output 1 1 1 1 Output is 1 only if both of the inputs is 1.
Output is opposite of AND gate. NAND Input A Input B Output 1 1 1 1 Output is opposite of AND gate.
Output is opposite of OR gate. NOR Input A Input B Output 1 1 Output is opposite of OR gate.
