Logic Gates

Two p-n junction diodes D1D_1 and D2D_2 are connected as shown in figure. AA and BB are input signals and CC is the output. The given circuit will function as a ________.

Figure

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. Each diode has its anode at the output node (fed by RR from 5 V) and its cathode at an input.
  2. If any input is 0 (0 V), that diode is forward biased and pulls CC to about 0: C=0C = 0.
  3. Only when A=B=1A = B = 1 are both diodes off, so CC = 5 V = 1.
  4. C=A⋅BC = A \cdot B, so the answer is (a) AND Gate.
