Logic gates: labelled reference, US style, sheet 1 of 1
Fig. 1
ABYAND gate
An AND gate's output is 1 only when every input is 1.
Fig. 2
ABYOR gate
An OR gate's output is 1 when any input is 1.
Fig. 3
AYNOT gate
A NOT gate's output is the opposite of its input.
Fig. 4
ABYNAND gate
A NAND gate's output is 0 only when every input is 1.
Fig. 5
ABYNOR gate
A NOR gate's output is 1 only when every input is 0.
Fig. 6
ABYXOR gate
An exclusive-OR gate's output is 1 when its two inputs differ.
| Fig. | Terminals | What the terminal is |
|---|---|---|
| 1–6 | A, B | In the unrotated gate drawings here, inputs appear on the left. Each input is a logic value, 0 or 1; rotating the symbol does not turn an input into an output. |
| 1–6 | Y | In the unrotated gate drawings here, the output appears on the right. Its settled logic value follows the gate's truth table. |
