2.1.11 – 2.1.13 – Simple logic Gates

2.1.11 – Define the Boolean operators: AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR

AND Gate

OR Gate

NOT Gate

XOR Gate

NAND Gate

NOR Gate

2.1.12 – Construct truth tables using the above operators

Truth tables are used to show all the possible outcomes for a logic problem. Here is the truth table for an AND gate:

Above is just a simple examples and you are more likely in your exam to see something like below

2.1.13 – Construct a logic diagram using AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR and XOR gates
