The Exclusive OR (XOR) Gate is a specialized type of digital logic gate that are widely utilized in digital arithmetic operations. Using these gates it becomes possible for us to calculate the sum of two binary numbers and we can also use these gates in error-detection and correction systems. So far in our logic gate […]

Understanding Logic NOR Gate: Tutorial
The term “inclusive” in “inclusive NOR” simply tells us that it is an alternative way of referring to a regular NOR gate. Like a standard NOR gate, the inclusive NOR gate gives us a logic “1” (high) output when all its inputs are at logic “0” and we get an output logic “0” (low) when […]
Understanding the Logic NOT Gate: Tutorial
A NOT gate which is also known as an inverter, is a digital logic component with a single input and a single output. The basic function of a NOT gate is to invert the input signal to generate an exactly opposite signal at its output. For example, suppose if we apply input of a NOT […]
Understanding the Logic AND Gate: A Comprehensive Guide
A digital logic AND gate is a type of circuit that produces an output based on its two inputs. For an AND gate you will find that its output is only “HIGH” (which means true or 1) whenever both of its inputs are “HIGH” (true or 1). If we turn either of inputs “LOW” (false […]
Understanding Digital Logic Gates: From Basic Functions to Advanced IC Classifications
Normally you will find a digital logic gate will accept multiple inputs, for example A, B, C, D, etc., but would mostly provide only one digital output, denoted as Q. We can connect or cascade multiple individual logic gates, to generate logic gate functions with any desired number of inputs, which can be used to […]
Understanding State Variable Filter Circuit with Formulas
In my electronic engineer profession, often times I have to use one of these state variable filters. These are actually specific types of active filters that are used in electronic circuits. These are built using one or more integrators positioned in a certain feedback arrangement. Whenever We have the requirement for an exact quality factor (Q factor) output, […]
