an electronic component that carries out a logical operation

a table showing the outputs for all possible combinations of inputs to a logic gate or logic circuit

Boolean logic and logic gates

Introduction to logic circuit design

Logic statements and expressions

Creating logic circuits

Truth tables

Logic gate simulator software

Implementing Boolean logic in Python

In this unit pupils will discover that Boolean logic is a way of describing circuits inside a computer. They will recognise logic gates as the building blocks of processors. They will be able to construct logic diagrams, truth tables and simplify Boolean expressions.
