Digital Logic (Section 2.2)
All digital computers are built from a set of low
Logic Gates.
level digital logic switches or
Gates operate on binary signals that only have one of two values:
Signalsfrom0to2voltsisusedtorepresentabinary0(OFF) Signalsfrom3to5voltsisusedtorepresentabinary1(ON) Signals between 2 and 3 volts represent an invalid state
Three basic logic functions that can be applied to binary signals:
More complex functions can be built from these three basic gates

Boolean Algebra
There is a basic set of rules about combining simple binary functions.
OR AND
x OR 0 = x x OR 1 = 1 x OR x = x x OR x = 1 (x)=x
xAND0 = 0 xAND1 = x xANDx = x xANDx = 0

The eXclusive-OR Gate (XOR)
Looking at the truth table we see that the XOR function can be described as:
x = (aANDb)OR(aANDb) x=aXORb
This function can be built in 3 ways: Demorgans Theorem
