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 |
---|---|---|
0 | 0 | 0 |
0 | 1 | 0 |
1 | 0 | 0 |
1 | 1 | 1 |
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
