AND gate and OR gate are basic logic gates. AND gate outputs 1 when all inputs are 1 else output 0. OR gate outputs 1 when at least one input is 1 else output 0. The main difference between AND gate and OR gate is that AND gate represents logical conjunction whereas OR gate represents logical disjunction.
In this article we will explore difference between AND gate and OR gate in detail.
A logic gate that is defined to execute the logical multiplication of binary input is known as the AND Gate. The AND operation is performed the same as ordinary multiplications of 1s and 0s. An AND gate is one of basic logic gate that performs the AND operations on the circuit's input. The AND Gate gives output 1 when all the inputs are 1, for all other cases output will be 0. A dot(.) is show the AND operation. The AND Gate is an electronic circuit that gives a high output (1) only if all its inputs are high.
The expression x = A.B is read as "x equals to the A AND B."
For n=2 (where n is the number of inputs).
| INPUTS | OUTPUT | |
|---|---|---|
A | B | A.B |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 0 |
| 0 | 1 | 0 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
Real-life application of AND Gate:
A logic gate that is defined to execute the logical addition of binary input is known as the OR Gate. The OR Gate gives output 1 when either input is 1, otherwise, the output is 0. A plus (+) is showing the OR operation The OR Gate is one of basic logic gates that gives an output (1) if one or more of its inputs is high. An OR Gate performs like two switches in parallel supplying a light so that when either one of the switches is closed the light is on.
The expression x = A+B is read as "x equals to the A OR B."
For n=2 (where n is the number of inputs).
| INPUTS | OUTPUT | |
|---|---|---|
| A | B | Z = A +B |
| 1 | 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 | 1 |
| 0 | 1 | 1 |
| 0 | 0 | 0 |
Real-life application of OR Gate:
The table below represents the difference between AND gate and OR gate.
| S.NO. | Parameter | AND Gate | OR Gate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. | Executes | AND Gate executes logical multiplication. | OR Gate executes logical addition. |
| 2. | Implements | AND Gate implements logical conjunction. | OR Gate implements logical disjunction. |
| 3. | Represent | AND Gate is represented by a dot(.) Example: Z = A.B | OR Gate is represented by a plus (+). Example: Z = A+B |
| 4. | True Output | AND Gate gives true output only when both inputs are true. | OR Gate gives a true output when at least one output is true. |
| 5. | High output | The AND Gate gives high output only if all its inputs are high. | The OR Gate gives output if one or more of its inputs is high. |
6. | Symbol |
From the above discussion we can conclude that both AND gate and OR gate are basic logic gates. AND gate represents logical conjunction whereas OR gate represents logical disjunction. AND gate gives output 1 when all inputs are 1 otherwise 0. OR gate gives output 1 if at least one input is 1 otherwise 0.
