Simulating and designing AND & OR Logic

Gates using Diodes.

~G Gnanasree (XII-D)
~Ananya A M (XII-B)
Materials Required:
●​ Diodes (1N4007 or 1N4148) – minimum 4 pcs

●​ Resistors (1 kΩ) – 2 pcs

●​ DC Power supply (5V)

●​ Push-button switches or jump wires (inputs)

●​ Breadboard and connecting wires

●​ Multimeter or LED indicators (to observe output)

OR Logic Gate Using Diodes:

Circuit Setup

●​ Connect the anodes of two diodes to Input A and Input B, respectively.

●​ Join the cathodes of both diodes together; this point is the output Y.

●​ Connect a resistor from output Y to ground.

●​ Apply a +5V supply to inputs A and B through push-buttons or jumpers.

Working Principle

If any input is HIGH (logic 1), the corresponding diode conducts, and output Y
will be HIGH.
AND Logic Gate Using Diodes:

Circuit Setup

●​ Connect the cathodes of two diodes to Input A and Input B, respectively.

●​ Join the anodes of both diodes together; this point is the output Y.

●​ Connect a resistor from output Y to +5V (pull-up resistor).

●​ Measure output from the joined anodes.

Working Principle

Both diodes must be reverse-biased (inputs HIGH) for the output to be HIGH.

Experimental Procedure:

●​ Based on the above diagrams, assemble the OR and AND gate circuits
on a breadboard.

●​ Apply all possible combinations of input voltages (0V for logic 0, +5V for
logic 1) to inputs A and B.

●​ Measure the output voltage or observe the LED for each input
combination.

●​ Record the outputs and verify against the truth tables.


Truth Tables:

Applications of Logic Gates using Diodes:


●​ Diodes act as a switch

●​ It can be used as a security lock and in other control systems

●​ An AND gate can be used in circuits where something should only


activate if it is powered by multiple sources
Advantages:
●​ They can rectify the noise from the input.

●​ They are cheaper.

●​ Switching time is faster than analogue

Disadvantages:
●​ Logic circuits use more energy than other circuits.

●​ Diode logic suffers from voltage degradation.

●​ For activation, logic circuits require portable or battery power


systems, which are limited in power.

●​ Diode logic permits only an OR gate and an AND gate
