Experiment[edit]
This exercise relies on an external website which will enable you to easily experiment with logic gates and form various compositions with the components. The links on this wiki page will preload the relevant gates currently under discussion. For best results, open the links in a separate window so that you can continue to read the wiki while you experiment.
- The layout flows from left to right.
- Inputs will be leftmost and output will be rightmost.
- Clicking on an input will toggle the input from Low to High.
- When an input is changed, the result will instantly impact the rest of the digram.
Input, Output, and an Inverter[edit]
Open this link in a different window then return to the wiki: Input, Output, and Inverter
You'll see an image as below.
- Click on the leftmost (input) H in the top diagram which simply represents a wire.
- What happens to the H?
- Does the color of the wire change?
- How is the output impacted?
- Click on the leftmost (input) H in the bottom diagram which represents an inverter.
- What happens to the H?
- Does the color of the wire change?
- How is the output impacted?
