Lesson 4 – Task 1 Worksheet
Task 1
What is a logic gate?
Logic is a way of defining truth. A logic gate is known for being a series of
transistors put together to deliver one or more outputs.
Identify the following logic gates:
The OR gate The
NOT gate The AND gate
Research and create a detailed description of the following gates. Add
example of when each one might be used and a real life example. Add
any relevant images:
AND The AND gate is basically a digital logic gate that gives you a 1
if the first signal and the second signal are both a 1, so this is
why we call the circuit and.
OR The output is high if one or more of the inputs are high.
For example if we input 1 and 0 the output will be 1
Plus is used to inputs that are being put together, A + B
NOT The NOT gate is an incredibly simple circuit. It takes an
electrical signal, on or off, and it flips it. So if the signal you give
it is a 1, the circuit gives you a 0 and if you give the circuit a 0,
it gives you a 1. The signal that goes in is not the same as the
signal that comes out and so we call this circuit not.
