Chapter 4, Problem 34E

Explanation of Solution

Gates:

• A gate is a device which is used to perform the basic logical operation.
• It accepts one or more input signals to generate the single output signal.
• The three methods are equally powerful methods used to express the processing of gates.
  • Boolean expressions
  • Logic diagrams
  • Truth tables
• Some of the logic gates:
  • NOT gate:
    • NOT gate accepts one input and generates a single output.
    • A gate contains the one input that has two possibilities of the input state, either 0 or 1 to generate the single output.
    • The logic diagram for NOT gate takes one input A and produces the single output X.

• Where A is the input and X is the output
• AND gate with two-input states:
  • The AND gate accepts two inputs and produces a single output.
  • A gate contains the two inputs; and it has four possibilities of input states (00, 01, 10, and 11) to generate a single output...
