The output state of a digital logic AND gate only returns “LOW” again when ANY of its inputs are at a logic level “0”. In other words for a logic AND gate, any LOW input will give a LOW output.
The logic or Boolean expression given for a digital AND gate is that for Logical Multiplication which is denoted by a single dot or full stop symbol, ( . ) giving us the Boolean expression of: A.B = Q.
Then we can define the operation of a digital 2-input AND gate as being:
“If both A and B are true, then Q is true”
2-input Transistor AND Gate
A simple 2-input AND gate can be constructed using RTL Resistor-transistor switches connected together as shown below with the inputs connected directly to the transistor bases. Both transistors must be saturated “ON” for an output at Q.
Logic AND Gates are available using digital circuits to produce the desired logical function and is given a symbol whose shape represents the logical operation of the AND gate.

Because the Boolean expression for the AND function is defined as (.), which is a binary operation, AND gates can be cascaded together to form any number of individual inputs. However, commercial available AND gate IC’s are only available in standard 2, 3, or 4-input packages. If additional inputs are required, then standard AND gates will need to be cascaded together to obtain the required input value, for example.
Multi-input AND Gate
The Boolean Expression for this 6-input AND gate will therefore be:
Q = (A.B).(C.D).(E.F)
In other words:
A AND B AND C AND D AND E AND F gives Q
If the number of inputs required is an odd number of inputs any “unused” inputs can be held HIGH by connecting them directly to the power supply using suitable “Pull-up” resistors.
Commonly available digital logic AND gate IC’s include:
TTL Logic AND Gate
- 74LS08 Quad 2-input
- 74LS11 Triple 3-input
- 74LS21 Dual 4-input
CMOS Logic AND Gate
- CD4081 Quad 2-input
- CD4073 Triple 3-input
- CD4082 Dual 4-input
7408 Quad 2-input AND Gate
In the next tutorial about Digital Logic Gates, we will look at the digital logic OR Gate function as used in both TTL and CMOS logic circuits as well as its Boolean Algebra definition and truth tables.
Its is very easy too read
Develop an AND gate , OR gate, and NOT gate truth table for this input : ABCDEFGH
Q = A.B
Q = A + B
Q = not(A)
This was very helpful and I appreciate your work thank you and I will look out for more.

) A logic circuit contains the following logic:
P= (A AND B) OR (NOT C)
i) Draw a logic gate diagram that shows the relationship between A, B, C and P.
ii)
State the value of P if A, B and C all have the initial value of 1
State the value of C if A and B both have the initial value of 0
Input A and B both have 7-bit data. Use AND gate (2 input pin) to perform logical multiplication on Logisim. Attached the simulated circuit below.
Plzzz solve this
Thank u
Digital electronics
So not helpful at all
what is and yoybe
I am interested in your studies .explain more
thank you very much
student of success
Please how can i use logic gate to construct wireless remote control
It is so interesting.
Am really appreciate with this wep side and I want to be the follower of the wep side
Please solve this for me…
You are given a design board with three input pins A, B and C, and one output pin R.
Build a circuit which raises R whenever B or C (or both) are up, but A is down. Otherwise the circuit drives R down. In other words, R is 1 when B or C or both are 1 at the same time as A is 0, otherwise R is 0.
And convert to nand
Or convert to nor
Or×not=nor
And+not=nand
We have questions.
1. A+b+c
2. A.b.c
3. A+b.c
4. A.b+c
Please answer the questions and tables.
Actually it’s a good teaching.
Plz
Design a logic circuit that as three input A,B,C and whose output will be high only when majority of input are high
Implies that the output Q will be HIGH (1) whenever two or more (majority) inputs are HIGH (1) otherwise the output Q is LOW (0)
Thus: Q = AB + AC + BC = three 2-input AND gates and one 3-input OR gate
