Gates and Inverters
Gates and inverters are logic gate devices that are designed to carry out various basic logic operations on logic signals, including NOT, AND, NAND, NOR, OR, inverting buffer, buffer converter, XOR, etc., without being capable of storing information and immediate response to their input signals. Both families of devices perform logic operations in signal processing; however, they are used in different environments with a specified range of applications. These devices come in various package options, and pin counts are available, ranging from five to eighty-eight. Additionally, they are found in both surface-mount and through-hole mounting types.
What are Logic Inverters, Their Benefits, and Their Applications?
Inverters, also called NOT gates or negators, are logic devices designed to invert or complement the provided output into a reverse form. These devices fulfill the desired system requirements by using either combined or alone. These inverting buffers are mostly used in generating clock signals to construct square wave oscillators. Furthermore, they are also found in temperature detector circuits and are less power consuming. In addition, contrary to other logic gates, they offer easy interfacing.
What Are Logic Gates?
Logic gates, the building blocks of digital systems, are designed to function in various logical operations and act as switches. These gates implement Boolean functions and accept the input to operate and process it on required parameters. For instance, it turns ON during certain conditions while turning OFF in the case of false circumstances.
Logic Gate Types:
Logic gates are classified into the following seven types, each with specified applications and configurations. These include:
- AND Gate
- NOT Gate or Inverter
- NAND Gate
- NOR Gate
- OR Gate
- XNOR Gate
- XOR Gate.
Where Are Logic Gates Used?
Logic gates have a range of applications in various environments, such as:
- Digital systems (microprocessors, microcontrollers, digital counters, registers)
- Circuits (that involve computation and processing).
- Pushbutton switches.
- Streetlights.
- Transistor Transistor Logic (TTL) and CMOS circuitry.
