A multiplexer or MUX is a combinational circuit that accepts several data inputs and allows only one of them to flow through the output line. Multiplexer (MUX) is also known as data selector because it selects one from many. A MUX consists of 2n data input lines, n select lines, and 1 output line. Since, it converts 2n input lines into 1 output line. Therefore, it is also called many-to-one device. Depending upon the number of input lines, there are several types of multiplexer present such as 2:1 MUX, 4:1 MUX, 8:1 MUX, etc. As this article is primarily meant ... Read More

An OR Gate is a basic logic gate that gives a HIGH or Logic 1 output, when any of its inputs is HIGH. Whereas, the NOR gate is a universal logic gate, which gives a HIGH output only when all its inputs are LOW or Logic 0. Before, going into the implementation of OR Gate using NOR Gate, let us discuss the basic theory of OR gate and NOR gate first. What is an OR Gate? An OR Gate is a basic logic gate. An OR gate can have two or more than two inputs, but has only one output. ... Read More

NAND Gate is a universal logic gate, using which we can realize any logic gate. Read this tutorial to find out how you can realize an OR gate using a NAND gate. Before going into the implementation part, let's have a brief overview of OR and NAND gates. What is an OR Gate? An OR Gate is a basic logic gate. An OR gate may accept two or more than two inputs, but gives only one output. The OR gate gives a HIGH (Logic 1) output if any one of its inputs is in the HIGH or Logic 1 state, ... Read More

A Boolean function is a logical expression that returns a Boolean value, which is a value that is either TRUE or FALSE. In digital electronic circuits, the logic gates are used to implement a conditional or logical or Boolean expressions. A logic gate is a digital circuit that performs a specific logical operation on one or more input variables or signals and generates an output signal. The output of a logic gate is determined by its logical function, which is based on Boolean algebra. In digital electronics, there are several types of logic gates available such as AND gate, OR ...

An AND Gate is a basic logic gate that performs the binary multiplication, i.e., it gives a HIGH or Logic 1 output, only when all its inputs are in HIGH or Logic 1 state. On the other hand, a NOR gate is a type of universal logic gate. Therefore, NOR gate can be used to realize any other type of logic gate. Before going into the implementation of AND gate using NOR gates only, let us discuss the basic theory of AND Gate and NOR Gate first. What is an AND Gate? An AND Gate is a basic logic gate. ...

We can realize or implement a Boolean expression or a logic function as hardware using logic gates. The easiest method of implementing a logic function as hardware using logic gates is to start with the output and moves towards the inputs. The implementation of a logic function with the help of logic gates involves connecting different logic gates in a specific manner. In this article, we shall confine our attention to implementing a logic function using the OR and AND gates only. Let's start the article with a brief introduction of OR and AND gates. What is an OR Gate? ... Read More

A logic gate is a digital electronic circuit that is used to implement different kinds of logical and comparison operations. We have several types of logic gates such as OR Gate, AND Gate, NOT Gate, NAND Gate, NOR Gate, etc. In this article, we will discuss the realization of OR Logic Gate using diode resistor logic, i.e. DL OR Gate. But before going into the realization of DL OR gate, let us discuss the basic of OR Gate. What is OR Gate? OR Gate is a logic circuit which may have two or more binary inputs and gives an output ...
