AND Gate

An AND gate is a fundamental binary logic gate with N inputs and one output. The output is 1 if all inputs are 1. The equivalent logical connective is conjunction.

The following truth table gives the specification for a two input AND gate with output X:

 A  B  X 
000
010
100
111

The schematic form of the AND gate is:

Below is a Verilog structural model for the AND gate. In the code, the first argument to and is the gate output, the other arguments are inputs.

	    
module and_gate(X, A, B);
   output X;
   input  A;
   input  B;

   and(X, A, B);
endmodule
