logic gates Flashcards
What does digital mean
Digital signals are a series of pulses consisting of two states: ON (1) or OFF (0). There are no values in between. DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) radio is transmitted as digital signals.
what does analogue mean
Music and speech vary continuously in frequency and amplitude. In the same way, analogue signals can vary in frequency, amplitude, or both. FM (Frequency Modulated) and AM (Amplitude Modulated) are two types of radio signals
For an AND gate, how many of the inputs have to be 1 for the output to be 1?
For the output of an AND gate to be 1, both inputs need to be 1
Describe AND logic gates
output is at logic 1 when, and only when all its inputs are at logic 1, otherwise the output is at logic 0
Describe OR logic gates
Output is at logic 1 when one or more at logic 1. If all inputs are at logic 0, output is at logic 0
Describe NAND logic gates
output is at logic 0 when, and only when all its inputs are at logic 1, otherwise the output is at logic 1
Describe NOR logic gates
Output is at logic 0 when one or more of its inputs are at logic 1. If all the inputs are at logic 0, the output is at logic 1
describe NOT logic gates
Output is at logic 0 when its only input is at logic 1, and at logic 1 when its only input is at logic 0. That’s why it is called an INVERteR
