Document Summary

In binary logic circuits, data/signals can assume only one of two possible values or states. The simplest binary circuit element is a switch that has two states. State 1 (x=1: this switch can be used in a simple application where it turns a light bulb on or off. We can describe the resulting circuit in terms of variables (the switch) and an output function (the light bulb. ) x=0 x=1. Applying the concepts of binary logic, where we can only have two states, if the light is on we will say that l=1, and if the light is off, we will say that l= 0. Finally, let us consider a circuit which will generate an output when a switch is opened; in this circuit we say that x" is the inverse, or complement, of x. This operation is frequently referred to as the not operation.
