AND gate

The AND gate is a basic digital logic gate that implements logical conjunction - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH output (1) results only if all the inputs to the AND gate are HIGH (1). If none or not all inputs to the AND gate are HIGH, a LOW output results. The function can be extended to any number of inputs.AND gate using diodesAND gate using transistorsNMOS AND gate The AND gate is a basic digital logic gate that implements logical conjunction - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH output (1) results only if all the inputs to the AND gate are HIGH (1). If none or not all inputs to the AND gate are HIGH, a LOW output results. The function can be extended to any number of inputs. There are three symbols for AND gates: the American (ANSI or 'military') symbol and the IEC ('European' or 'rectangular') symbol, as well as the deprecated DIN symbol. Additional inputs can be added as needed. For more information see Logic Gate Symbols. The AND gate with inputs A and B and output C implements the logical expression C = A ⋅ B {displaystyle C=Acdot B} . An AND gate is usually designed using N-channel (pictured) or P-channel MOSFETs. The digital inputs a and b cause the output F to have the same result as the AND function. f ( a , b ) = a ∗ b {displaystyle f(a,b)=a*b} is the analytical representation of AND gate: If no specific AND gates are available, one can be made from NAND or NOR gates, because NAND and NOR gates are considered the 'universal gates,' meaning that they can be used to make all the others.
