NOT Gate using a transistor

Posted on November 29, 2015 by timhaines96

with an NPN BJT (bipolar junction transistor) and two resistors you can create a Not gate.

Logic Gates – XNOR gate

Posted on November 10, 2015 by timhaines96

The XNOR gate is an inverted XOR gate. The out put is only true when either all the inputs are false, or all the inputs are true. It is effectively an XOR gate in series with a NOT gate.

Logic Gates – NOR gate

Posted on November 10, 2015 by timhaines96

A NOR gate simply produces a true output only when all of the inputs are false. It is effectively just an OR gate in series with a NOT gate.

Logic Gates – XOR gate

Posted on November 9, 2015 by timhaines96

Exclusive OR (XOR) gates operate on the same logic as an OR gate excluding one difference. If more than one of the inputs is true, then the output will be false.

In order for the output to be true, only one of the inputs can be true.

Logic Gates – NAND gate

Posted on November 9, 2015 by timhaines96

A NAND gate is an AND gate whose output has been inverted. This effectively means that unless all inputs are true, the output will be true.

Logic Gates – NOT gate

Posted on November 9, 2015 by timhaines96

A NOT gate (Inverter), is a single input logic gate. The output is simply opposite to that of the input.

You can simply create a NOT gate by using an NPN transistor and two resistors as shown here: ‘https://thelectronicsblog.wordpress.com/2015/11/29/not-gate-using-a-transistor’

Logic Gates – OR gate

Posted on November 9, 2015 by timhaines96

An OR gate only requires one inputs to be true for the output to be true. All inputs need to be false for the output to be false.

Logic Gates – AND gate

Posted on November 9, 2015 by timhaines96

An AND gate requires all inputs to be true for the output to be true. Any other combination results in the output being false.AND gate logic tableAND gate
