Logic Circuits

What is a logic circuit?

• A logic circuit performs logical operations on binary information

• Logic gates are core components of logic circuits

• Based on the arrangement of logic gates and the input signals, the circuit performs a specific function

• A logic diagram is a visual representation of a combinations of logic gates within a logic circuit

• Brackets are used to clarify the order of operations

• An example logic diagram for the Boolean expression Q = NOT(A OR B) would be:

• In the logic diagram above, the inputs are represented by A and B

• P is the output of the OR gate on the left and becomes the input of the NOT gate

• Q is the final output of the logic circuit

Example of combining logic gates

• P = (A OR B) AND NOT C
