A CMOS transistor NAND element. V dd denotes positive voltage.. In CMOS logic, if both of the A and B inputs are high, then both the NMOS transistors (bottom half of the diagram) will conduct, neither of the PMOS transistors (top half) will conduct, and a conductive path will be established between the output and Vss (ground), bringing the output low.
The 3-input Fredkin gate is functionally complete reversible gate by itself – a sole sufficient operator. There are many other three-input universal logic gates, such as the Toffoli gate . In quantum computing , the Hadamard gate and the T gate are universal, albeit with a slightly more restrictive definition than that of functional completeness.
In digital electronics, a NAND gate (NOT-AND) is a logic gate which produces an output which is false only if all its inputs are true; thus its output is complement to that of an AND gate. A LOW (0) output results only if all the inputs to the gate are HIGH (1); if any input is LOW (0), a HIGH (1) output results.
Sometimes only the circle portion of the symbol is used, and it is attached to the input or output of another gate; the symbols for NAND and NOR are formed in this way. [3] A bar or overline ( ‾ ) above a variable can denote negation (or inversion or complement) performed by a NOT gate. [4] A slash (/) before the variable is also used. [3]
3-input majority gate using 4 NAND gates. The 3-input majority gate output is 1 if two or more of the inputs of the majority gate are 1; output is 0 if two or more of the majority gate's inputs are 0. Thus, the majority gate is the carry output of a full adder, i.e., the majority gate is a voting machine. [7]
The size of a circuit is the number of gates it contains and its depth is the maximal length of a path from an input gate to the output gate. There are two major notions of circuit complexity. [ 1 ] The circuit-size complexity of a Boolean function f {\displaystyle f} is the minimal size of any circuit computing f {\displaystyle f} .
The Cirac–Zoller controlled-NOT gate is an implementation of the controlled-NOT (CNOT) quantum logic gate using cold trapped ions that was proposed by Ignacio Cirac and Peter Zoller in 1995 and represents the central ingredient of the Cirac–Zoller proposal for a trapped-ion quantum computer. [1]
Schematic of basic two-input DTL NAND gate. R3, R4 and V− shift the positive output voltage of the input DL stage below the ground (to cut off the transistor at low input voltage). Diode–transistor logic (DTL) is a class of digital circuits that is the direct ancestor of transistor–transistor logic.
