Logic ICs
Logic gates are available on
special ICs (chips) which usually
contain several gates of the same
type, for example the 4001 IC
contains four 2-input NOR gates.
There are several families of logic
ICs and they can be split into two
groups:
4000 Series
74 Series
AND gate
Q = A AND B or Q = A . B
An AND gate can have t wo or more inputs, its output is true if all
inputs are true.

A NAND gate can have two or more inputs, its output is true if NOT all inputs are true.
A NOR gate can have two or more inputs, its output is true if no inputs are true.
