Types of Logic Gates
Basic Gates AND, OR, NOT
AND Gate The AND gate implements the Boolean AND function where the output only is logical 1 when all inputs are logical 1. The standard symbol and the truth tabel for a two input AND gate is:
Boolean expression of AND The Boolean expression for the AND gate is R=A.B ABR
OR Gate The OR gate implements the Boolean OR function where the output is logical 1 when just input is logical 1. The standard symbol and the truth table for a two input OR gate is:
Boolean Expression of OR ABR The Boolean expression for the OR gate is: R=A+B
NOT Gate The NOT gate implements the Boolean NOT function where the output is the inverse of the input. The standard symbol and the truth table for the NOT gate is:
Boolean Expression of NOT The Boolean expression for the NOT gate is: R=-A AR 01 00
Derived Gates NAND, NOR, XOR
NAND Gate The NAND gate is an AND gate followed by a NOT gate. The output is logical 1 when one of the inputs are logical 0 The standard symbol and the truth table for the NAND gate is:
Boolean expression of NAND ABR
NOR Gate The NOR is a combination of an OR followed by a NOT gate. The output is logical 1 when non of the inputs are logical 0 The standard symbol and the truth table for the NOR gate is:
Boolean Expression of NOR ABR
XOR Gate The XOR gate produces a logic 1 output only if its two inputs are different. If the inputs are the same, the output is a logic 0 The XOR symbol is a variation on the standard OR symbol. It consists of a plus (+) sign with a circle around it. The logic symbol, as shown here, is a variation on the standard OR symbol.

Half Adder
What is a Half adder? Logic gate that perform addition for 1- bit When occurs, a carry produce 1
Half Adder Perform arithmetic additions two inputs A, B to half-adder. Resultants are Sum(S) and Carry(C out ) Using K-Map to simplify the sum term, we get H.A A BC out S
Full Adder
What is Full Adder? A full adder is a circuit that computes the sum of three bits and gives a two-bit answer. A circuit for adding two 16-bit numbers can be built from 16 full-adder circuits. Each full- adder does one column of the sum. The full adder for a given column adds two bits from the input numbers together with a one-bit carry from the previous column to the right. The adder produces a two-bit answer; one of these bits is used as a carry into the next column.
Full Adder A full adder has 3 inputs and 2 outputs The truth table of the full-adder can be drawn with inputs A,B and Cin with outputs S and Cout From the truth table we can write the Boolean equation for the S and Cout Simplify using Boolean Algebra and K-map, we get
Sum = Any 2 of the three inputs are 1 Cout = XOR between A, B, Cin ABCinSumCout

Four-Bit Parallel Adder This circuit is sometimes referred to as a ripple- through adder C0 ripples through four two-level logic circuits and hence the sum cannot be completed until eight gate delays For this kind of adder, the maximum delay is directly proportional to the number of stages n.
