Question 223Electricity & Electronics - 1st Asst/Chief
70% to passIn a logic circuit, how does a NOT gate function?
Ait does not alter the input logic condition
Bit serves to amplify a given signal level
Cit serves to attenuate a given signal level
Dit reverses the input logic condition
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) it reverses the input logic condition. A NOT gate, also known as an inverter, is a basic logic gate in digital electronics that reverses the input logic condition. If the input is a logic 1 (high), the NOT gate will output a logic 0 (low), and vice versa. This fundamental operation of reversing the logic state is the primary function of a NOT gate. The other options are incorrect because: A) a NOT gate does alter the input logic condition, C) a NOT gate does not attenuate the signal level, and B) a NOT gate does not amplify the signal level.
