AMIT MEENA KV Narmada Nagar Digital Systems: Boolean Algebra and Logic Gates DEFINITION: Boolean Algebra is the algebra of truth values and operations performing on them which is used in Digital Circuits for performing logical operations. Boolean Constants and Variables Logical statements can have either two values yes or no, true or false, 0 or 1. Boolean 0 and 1 do not represent actual numbers but instead represent the state, or logic level. Closed switch Open switch Yes No High Low On Off True False Logic 1 Logic 0 Truth Tables A truth table is a means for describing how a logic circuit’s output depends on the logic levels present at the circuit’s inputs. 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 x B A Output Inputs ? A B x Three Basic Logic Operators OR AND NOT OR Operation Boolean expression for the OR operation: x =A + B The above expression is read as “x equals A OR B” AND Operation Boolean expression for the AND operation: x =A B The above expression is read as “x equals A AND B” NOT Operation The NOT operation is an unary operation, taking only one input variable. Boolean expression for the NOT operation:x = A The above expression is read as “x equals the inverse of A” Also known as inversion or complementation. Can also be expressed as: A’ A LOGIC GATES OR AND NOT NAND NOR OR Gate An OR gate is a gate that has two or more inputs and whose output is equal to the OR combination of the inputs. AND Gate An AND gate is a gate that has two or more inputs and whose output is equal to the AND product of the inputs. NOT Gate The symbol and Truth Table for NOT gate is given below: A Describing Logic Circuits Algebraically Any logic circuits can be built from the three basic building blocks: OR, AND, NOT Example 1: x = A B + C Example 2: x = (A+B)C Example 3: x = (A+B) Examples 1,2 Examples 3 Evaluating Logic-Circuit Outputs x = ABC(A+D) Determine the output x given A=0, B=1, C=1, D=1. Can also determine output level from a diagram Examples NAND Gate Boolea
