Logic Gates
Two p-n junction diodes and are connected as shown in figure. and are input signals and is the output. The given circuit will function as a ________.
![]()
Show answer and solution
Answer: (a)
- Each diode has its anode at the output node (fed by from 5 V) and its cathode at an input.
- If any input is 0 (0 V), that diode is forward biased and pulls to about 0: .
- Only when are both diodes off, so = 5 V = 1.
- , so the answer is (a) AND Gate.
