Elementaarväravate
Elementaarväravate, often translated as "elementary gates" or "basic gates," refers to fundamental building blocks in digital logic circuits. These are the simplest types of logic gates that perform basic logical operations on one or more binary inputs to produce a single binary output. The most common elementaarväravate are the AND gate, the OR gate, and the NOT gate. An AND gate outputs a true signal only if all its inputs are true. An OR gate outputs a true signal if at least one of its inputs is true. A NOT gate, also known as an inverter, outputs the opposite of its single input; if the input is true, the output is false, and vice versa. These three gates are considered universal gates because any complex logic circuit can be constructed using only combinations of AND, OR, and NOT gates. Other common elementaarväravate include the NAND (NOT-AND) gate and the NOR (NOT-OR) gate, which are effectively combinations of a basic gate and a NOT gate. NAND and NOR gates are also universal gates, meaning any logic function can be implemented using only NAND gates or only NOR gates. Elementaarväravate are the foundation of all digital electronics, from simple calculators to complex microprocessors and memory devices. Their operation is based on Boolean algebra, a mathematical system that describes logical operations.
