What is an OR Gate?

OR Gate Definition

An OR gate is defined as a logic gate that outputs high (1) if one or both inputs are high (1).

Working Principle

The working principle of an OR gate is to find the maximum between binary digits, resulting in a high output if any input is high.

Truth Table

The truth table of an OR gate lists the output for all possible input combinations, showing how the gate responds.

Diode Circuit

A diode can be used to create an OR gate, where any high input makes the output high.

Transistor Circuit

Transistors can also form an OR gate, providing a high output if any transistor is switched on.
