0 | 1 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1 |
AND Gate using Diodes We use the same logic levels, but the diodes are reversed and the resistor is set to pull the output voltage up to a logic 1 state. For this example, +V = +5 volts, although other voltages can just as easily be used. Now, if both inputs are unconnected or if they are both at logic 1, output Z will be at logic 1. If either input is grounded (logic 0), that diode will conduct and will pull the output down to logic 0 as well. Both inputs must be logic 1 in order for the output to be logic 1, so this circuit performs the logical AND function.
AND Gate using Transistors
A simple 2-input logic AND gate can be constructed using transistor switches connected together as shown below with the inputs connected directly to the transistor bases.
