THEORY:The circuits that take the logical decisions are called the logic gates. Each
gate has one or more input and only one output.
OR, AND and NOT are called the basic gates. NAND and NOR are known
as the Universal gates. Basic gates can be used to form the Universal gates.
AND GATE:
The AND gate performs a logical multiplication commonly known as the
AND function. The output is high when both the inputs are high. The output is
low when any one of the inputs is low.
OR GATE:
The OR gate performs a logical addition commonly known as the OR
function. The output is high when any one of the inputs is high. The output is low
when both the inputs are low.
NOT GATE:
The NOT gate is called an inverter. The output is high when the input is low. The
output is low when the input is high.
NAND GATE:
The NAND gate is a contraction of AND-NOT. The output is high when both

inputs are low and any one of the inputs is low .The output is low when both inputs
are high.
NOR GATE:
The NOR gate is a contraction of OR-NOT. The output is high when both
inputs are low. The output is low when one or both inputs are high.
X-OR GATE:
The output is high when any one of the inputs is high. The output is low when both
the inputs are low and both the inputs are high.

PROCEDURE:1. Make the connections of the logic gate as given in the circuit diagram.
2. Switch on the power supply and logical inputs should be given as per the
circuit diagram.
3. Observe the output of the circuit diagram.
4. Verify the truth table of the circuit diagram.

5. Similarly, repeat steps 1 to 4 for other logic gates.

6. Switch off the power supply.

PRECAUTIONS:1. All the connections should be made properly.

2. IC should not be reversed.
