- (^) There are three different, but equally powerful, notational methods for describing the behavior of gates and circuits - (^) Boolean expressions - (^) logic diagrams - (^) truth tables
- (^) Logic diagram: a graphical representation of a circuit - (^) Each type of gate is represented by a specific
graphical symbol
- (^) Truth table: defines the function of a gate by listing all possible input combinations that the gate could encounter, and the corresponding output
Truth Table
