NOT Gate
A NOT gate, sometimes also called inverter, is a circuit that outputs the value that was not input. It has a single input and output, and each can only take one of two pre-defined values (typically 0 and 1). Whatever the input value is selected, the output value will be the other of the two.
Definition
| input | output |
|---|---|
| 0 | 1 |
| 1 | 0 |
Connectors
- Input: one of two values (0 or 1)
- Output: the other of the two values
Implementation
NOT gates can often be avoided by modifying the circuit. For instance, if you use the output of a NOT gate to control the selector input of a Logic Select Unit, you can just switch the two inputs with each other instead and eleminate the NOT gate.
Unfortunately, there is no single-component implementation of a NOT gate. However, if you happen to have a data signal with a known value (like a memory containing a constant), often you can feed this signal into a single component in order to turn it into a NOT gate.
