please give me the equation for the boolean logic gate

Solution

The given logic circuit contains a combination of logic gates, including OR gates, NOT gates (inverters), and potentially AND gates based on the structure. Let's break it down step by step to derive the Boolean equation.

Step-by-step Analysis:

  1. Inputs:

    • The inputs are labeled as AA and BB.
  2. First OR Gate:

    • The first gate is an OR gate with inputs AA and BB.
    • The output of this OR gate is A+BA + B (using Boolean OR logic).
  3. Inverter 1 (NOT Gate):

    • The output of the first OR gate (A+B)(A + B) is passed through a NOT gate.
    • The output of this NOT gate is A+B\overline{A + B}.
  4. Inverter 2 (NOT Gate):

    • The input BB is also passed through a separate NOT gate.
    • The output of this NOT gate is B\overline{B}.
  5. Second OR Gate:

    • The final gate is an OR gate, which has two inputs:
      1. A+B\overline{A + B} from the first NOT gate.
      2. B\overline{B} from the second NOT gate.
    • The output of this OR gate is A+B+B\overline{A + B} + \overline{B}.

Final Boolean Equation:

The Boolean equation for the circuit is:

C=A+B+BC = \overline{A + B} + \overline{B}

This equation represents the logical output CC as a function of the inputs AA and BB.
