Introduction to Logic Gates[1]
Gates
Logic gates are fundamental building blocks
in digital electronics, responsible for
processing information and performing
logical operations.
What are Logic Gates?
1 Input 2 Output
Two or more inputs. Output is 1 if at least
one input is 0, and 0
only if all inputs are 1.
(Inverse of AND).
NOR Gate
1 Input 2 Output
Two or more inputs. Output is 1 only if all inputs are 0,
and 0 if at least one input is 1.
(Inverse of OR).
XOR Gate
1 Input 2 Output
Two or more inputs. Output is 1 if only
one input is 1, and
0 if both inputs are
0 or both inputs
are 1.
XNOR Gate
1 Input 2 Output
Two or more inputs. Output is 1 if all
inputs are the
same (either all 0s
or all 1s), and 0 if
the inputs are
different. (Inverse
of XOR).
Applications of Logic Gates
Logic gates play a crucial role in everyday technology, forming the foundation of
digital systems and enabling complex functions like computing, communication, and
automation.
Binary Number System
The binary number system utilizes only two Each digit in a binary number holds a specific
digits, 0 and 1, representing "off" and "on" positional value, determined by its position
states. This simplicity makes it ideal for relative to the rightmost digit. Each position
electronic devices like computers. represents a power of 2.
Decimal to Binary Conversion
Divide by 2
1
Repeatedly divide the decimal number by 2, noting the remainders.
Collect Remainders
2
Read the remainders in reverse order to obtain the binary equivalent.
Example
3
Decimal 13 = Binary 1101.
Binary to Decimal Conversion
Multiply by 2
1 Multiply each binary digit by 2 raised to the power of its position.
Example
3
Binary 1011 = Decimal 11.
Addition and Subtraction of Binary Numbers
Addition Subtraction
Binary addition follows similar rules to decimal Binary subtraction involves borrowing from the next
addition, with carrying over to the next position position when a digit is smaller than the subtrahend.
when the sum is greater than or equal to 2. It's important to remember that 0 - 1 = 1, with a borrow
from the next position.
Multiplication and Division of
Binary Numbers
Multiplication
Binary multiplication resembles decimal multiplication, where
each digit is multiplied by the multiplier, and the results are
summed.
Division
Binary division uses a similar process to decimal division,
with repeated subtraction of the divisor from the dividend.
Example
1010 * 11 = 11110.
Bitwise Operations in Binary
1 AND 2 OR
The result is 1 only if both bits The result is 1 if at least one of
are 1. the bits is 1.
3 XOR 4 NOT
The result is 1 only if the bits Inverts the bits, changing 0 to
are different. 1 and 1 to 0.
Binary Storage and Memory
Representation
Bits and Bytes Memory Organization
Computers store information using Memory is organized as a sequence
bits, the smallest unit of data, of addresses, each holding a
which can be either 0 or 1. Eight bits specific byte of data. The binary
constitute a byte, which can representation of each byte
represent a single character, determines the data stored at that
number, or other data elements. address.
Encoding Schemes
Various encoding schemes, such as ASCII and Unicode, translate characters
and symbols into their binary equivalents for storage and manipulation.
