Supplementary Information
What is “gates” and Boolean algebra?
• Digital circuits contain hardware elements called “gates” that
perform logic operations on binary numbers.
– Devices such as transistors can be used to perform the logic
operations.
• Boolean algebra is a mathematical system that provides the
basis for these logic operations.
• The term Boolean variable is used to mean the two-valued
binary digit 1 or 0.
• Boolean algebra uses three basic logic operations namely,
NOT, OR, and AND.
NOT Operation
• The NOT operation inverts or provides the one’s complement
of a binary digit.
• This operation takes a single input and generates one output.
• The NOT operation of a binary digit provides the following
result:
NOT 1= 0
NOT 0= 1
• A NOT gate is also referred to as an “inverter” because it
inverts the voltage levels.
• Ａ transistor acts as an inverter.
• A 0-volt at the input generates a 5-volt output; a 5-volt input
provides a 0-volt output.
OR operation
• The OR operation for two variables A and B generates a result
of 1 if A or B, or both, are 1. However, if both A and B are
zero, then the result is 0.
• A plus sign + (logical sum) or ∨ symbol is normally used to
represent OR.
• The four possible combinations of ORing two binary digits are
0 + 0= 0
0 + 1= 1
1 + 0= 1
1 + 1= 1
• The diode is a switch, and it closes when there is a voltage
drop of 0.7 V between the anode and the cathode.
• Suppose that a voltage range of 0 to 2 V is considered as logic
0 and a voltage of 3 to 5 V is logic 1.
• If both A and B are at logic 0 (say 1.5 V) with a voltage drop
across the diodes of 0.7 V to close the diode switches, a
current flows from the inputs through R to ground, and the
output C will be at 1.5 V - 0.7 V = 0.8 V (logic 0). On the
other hand, if one or both inputs are at logic 1 (say 4.5 V) the
output C will be at 4.5V - 0.7 V = 3.8 V (logic 1).
• Therefore, the circuit acts as an OR gate.
AND operation
• The AND operation for two variables A and B generates a
result of 1 if both A and B are 1.
• However, if either A or B, or both, are zero, then the result is
0. The dot and ∧ symbol are both used to represent the AND
operation. The AND operation between two binary digits is
0·0=0
0·1=0
1·0=0
1·1=1
• As we did for the OR gate, let us assume that the range 0 to
+2V represents logic 0 and the range 3 to 5 V is logic 1.
• Now, if A and B are both HIGH (say 3.3 V) and the anode of
both diodes at 4.0 V, the switches in D1 and D2 close.
• A current flows from +5 V through resistor R to +3.3 V input
to ground. The output C will be HIGH (4.0 V).
• On the other hand, if a low voltage (say 0.5 V) is applied at A
and a high voltage (3.3V) is applied at B. The value of R is
selected in such a way that 1.2 V appears at the anode side of
D1 at the same time 4.0 V appears at the anode side of D2.
• A current flows from the +5V input through R and the diodes
to ground. Output C will be low (1.2 V) because the output
will be lower of the two voltages. Thus, it can be shown that
when either one or both inputs are low, the output is low, so
the circuit works as an AND gate.
