The Logic NOT Function is simply a single input inverter that changes the input of a logic level “1” to an output of logic level “0” and vice versa.
The “logic NOT function” is so called because its output state is NOT the same as its input state with its Boolean Expression generally denoted by a bar or overline ( ¯ ) over its input symbol which denotes the inversion operation, (hence its name as an inverter).
As NOT gates perform the logic INVERT or COMPLEMENTATION function they are more commonly known as Inverters because they invert the signal. In logic circuits this negation can be represented by a normally closed switch.
Switch Representation of the Logic NOT Function
If A means that the switch is closed, then NOT A or simply A says that the switch is NOT closed or in other words, it is open. The logic NOT gate has a single input and a single output as shown.

The inversion indicator for the NOT function is a “bubble”, ( O ) symbol on the output (or input) of the logic elements symbol. In Boolean algebra the inverting NOT Function follows the Complementation Law producing inversion.
Logic NOT gates or “Inverters” as they are more commonly called, can be connected with standard AND and OR gates to produce NAND and NOR gates respectively. Inverters can also be used to produce “Complementary” signals in more complex decoder/logic circuits for example, the complement of logic A is A and two Inverters connected together in series will give a double inversion which produces at its output the original value of A.
When designing logic circuits and you may only need one or two inverters within your design, but do not have the space or the money for a dedicated Inverter chip such as the 74LS04. Then you can easily make a logic NOT function easily by using any spare NAND or NOR gates by simply connecting their inputs together as shown below.

pls also provide Ic numbers

I learnt from here that Logic NOT function is the negation of its input state.
(a+b)+a’b=z
what happens when to negations are performed???
WHY
Well explained
thx
Good explanation
H hhahahahhahahahha
Hello
hi kids thats very nice thanks very much now i know stuff :))))
thanks
jiggalo jai
also sub to jnb elite on youtube:))))
Keep studying, math is what we need to know
hi
When we give 0 input to not gate 0 means no input how does it gives us 1 in output
Don’t think of it as no input. Think of it as connecting to ground or 0V (or logic 0) potential. The IC circuits in the chip then interpret the 0V and output Logic 1 (or 5V)
I Just Want To Be Updated About Everything In Logic Gate
Hi all, I would like the characteristic equation of the NOT GATE rocker. thanks
Other ways to denote the NOT gate is ‘(dash) ,~(tilde),c(compliment)
The tutoria is educating, keep it up
Sir/Ma’m,
Ca you please mention the resistance that you have used to build the ‘NOT’logic gate and the power supply of the battery used.
I appreciate your site help me. Thank you.
