I am currently taking a Digital Circuit Logic course at my school and I was getting really confused about AND, OR, and NOT Gates. I just have a few questions that I hope someone could clear things up for me.
1) What kind of signal gets put into the gates so that it knows weather to output a 0, or 1. (I'm talking about more spacific such as if it has to be a certain voltage, or current, or frequency, or what have you)?
2) If this signal has to be a certain type; If I wanted to make a digital circuit, where do resistors, capacitors, inductors, and other circuit elements come into play. Why are they there?
3) How can you simplify these circuits using algebra, and what would the methods be?
4) How many gates are there and what do some of the more common ones look like
5) How exactly do they work?
If anyone could answer even a few of these it would be most appreciated.
Thank you.
