LOGIC GATES
The word GATE is used to describe the basic electronic component, and when these components are combined with each other they are then able to perform complex logical and arithmetic operations. These types of operations are associated with the ALU of the CPU.
The next circuit diagram illustrates how an AND logic gate can be constructed from two transistors and a resistor
Logic Gates have one or more inputs but only a single output. The nature of gates determines what the output should be given current inputs.

There are various types of gates the -
