ACKNOWLEDGEMEN
T
First of all, I am immensely indebted to almighty god for his
blessings and grace without which I could not have
undertaken this task and my efforts would never have been
a success.
I humbly consider a privilege and honor to express
my heartiest and profound gratitude to Mr. Rajendra.S.
Malwal, principal BIPS, Patan. For his appropriate direction,
valuable suggestion, under judging assistance so generously
extended to me.
I wish to express my deepest feelings of gratitude to Mr.
Sandeep Darji, physics department, BIPS Patan. For his
erudite involvement and sustained guidance which has been
pivotal in my project work. His minute observation, precious

Introduction.
GATE: - A gate is defined as a digital circuit which follows some
logical relationship between the input and output voltages. It is a

 lOMoARcPSD|34974849

digital circuit which either allows a signal to pass through or stop

it.
 The logic gates are building blocks at digital electronics.
They are used in digital electronics to change one voltage
level into another according to some logic statement
relating to them.

Truth Table: - A logic gate may have one or more than one inputs,
but it has only one output. The relationship between the possible
values of input and output voltages are expressed in the form of a
table called truth table.
 Truth table of a logic gate is a table that shows all the inputs
and outputs that are possible for the logic gates.

Boolean Algebra: - The algebra which is based on binary nature

of the logic gates.

Boolean Expressions: - They are the logical statement which are

followed by logical gates.

Any Boolean algebraic operation can be associated with the input

and output, which represents the statement of Boolean algebra.
Although these circuits may be complex, they may all be constructed
from three basic devices like a P-N junction diode, a resistance and a
N-PN transistor.
We have three different type of logic gates and they are the AND
gate, the OR gate and the NOT gate.

Basic Gates.
The OR Gate: - It is a device that combines A and B to give Y as the
result. The OR gate has two or more inputs and one output. In
Boolean algebra, addition symbol (+), is referred as the OR.
The Boolean expression: A+B=Y
This indicates that Y equals to A or B.

The AND Gate: - It is a device that combines A with B to give Y as

the result. The AND gate has two or more inputs and one output.
In Boolean algebra, multiplication sign is referred as the AND. The
Boolean expression: A.B=Y or A X B=Y This indicates that Y equals
to A and B.
The NOT Gate: - It is a device that inverts the inputs. The NOT
has one input and has one output. In Boolean algebra, bar symbol
is referred as the NOT.
The Boolean expression: 𝑨̅ = 𝒀

This indicates that Y is not equal to A.

- Making of logic gates was started by binary

numbers.

- Logic gates can also store information.

The following conclusion can be drawn from the above

circuit:
(i) If the switch A and B are kept open (A=1, B=0),
then bulb does not glow, hence Y=0
(ii) If switch A is kept closed and B is kept open
(A=1, B=0), then bulb does not glow, hence
Y=0
(iii) If switch A is kept open and B is kept closed
(A=0, B=1), then bulb does not glow, hence
Y=0
(iv) If switch A and B both are kept closed (A=1,
B=1), then bulb glows, hence Y=1

Logic gates are used to develop many IC
circuits or microchips in today’s modern
