1.1.1.1 Logic 0 and 1

An electronic circuit in which a state switches (changes) between two distinct states when there is a change in the input states or input conditions is called a logic circuit. It has two possible states, 1 or 0. A state 0 of a circuit means a distinct range of output or input. Within the range, the voltages or currents orfrequencies or phases or conditions of the circuit are in the defined limits. State ...
