Building Gate

In summary, to build a NOT gate with AND/OR gates, you will need two AND gates and one OR gate. You can also use other types of logic gates such as NAND or NOR gates, but it may require more components and be more complex. The NOT gate with AND/OR gates works by taking the input and passing it through two AND gates and combining the outputs through an OR gate. The advantages of using AND/OR gates to build a NOT gate include requiring fewer components and being simpler and easier to understand, making it suitable for beginners in logic gate circuits.

Is it possible to building one from using AND and OR gates, cause I've been trying and now I'm wondering if it's even possible

no, you're going to have to bring negation in there somewhere. If you had a nand or a nor it's trivial but I don't see how it can be done with elements that provide no negation.

Righto, thanks for confirming that

FAQ: Build NOT Gate w/ AND/OR Gates: Possible?

How do I build a NOT gate with AND/OR gates?

To build a NOT gate with AND/OR gates, you will need two AND gates and one OR gate. Connect the input of both AND gates to the input of the NOT gate, and then connect the outputs of the AND gates to the inputs of the OR gate. The output of the OR gate will be the output of the NOT gate.

What materials do I need to build a NOT gate with AND/OR gates?

You will need two AND gates, one OR gate, and wires to connect them. Additionally, you may need a breadboard and power supply for testing the circuit.

Can I use other types of logic gates to build a NOT gate?

Yes, you can use other types of logic gates such as NAND or NOR gates to build a NOT gate. However, the circuit will be more complex and may require more components.

How does a NOT gate with AND/OR gates work?

The NOT gate with AND/OR gates works by taking the input and passing it through two AND gates. The outputs of the AND gates are then combined through an OR gate, which results in the inverse of the input.

What are the advantages of using AND/OR gates to build a NOT gate?

The main advantage of using AND/OR gates to build a NOT gate is that it requires fewer components compared to other methods. Additionally, the circuit is simpler and easier to understand, making it suitable for beginners in logic gate circuits.
