LOGIC GATES

THE  'XOR' GATE

Logic Gates        Main

The symbol used when showing an AND gate in a logic circuit is shown as follows:

The XOR gate is slightly different to the OR gate, because in an OR gate the input can be either X OR Y given an output of 1 but this being an XOR gate the inputs have to be either X OR Y to get an output of 1 but not both at the same time as this will give an output of 0

Truth Table

X       Y       X OR Y
0       0          0
0       1          1
1       0          1
1       1          0
