AND Gate

Information

../../../_images/AND.png

A digital AND gate is a fundamental logic gate that outputs a logic high (1) only if both of its inputs are high. It performs a logical conjunction operation.

The truth table for a 2-input AND gate is:

In1

In2

Out

0

0

0

0

1

0

1

0

0

1

1

1

Ports

  • In1: First digital input

  • In2: Second digital input

  • Out: Digital output (result of In1 AND In2)

Model

The AND model implements a standard 2-input digital AND logic gate.

A digital AND gate outputs logic 1 only when both inputs are at logic 1.

Attributes:

  • In1 (dsignal): First input digital signal

  • In2 (dsignal): Second input digital signal

  • Out (dsignal): Output digital signal

Methods:

digital(): Performs the logical AND operation between input signals:

\[\text{Out} = \text{In1} \land \text{In2}\]
from pyams.lib import dsignal, model, circuit

class AND(model):
    """ Digital AND gate model """
    def __init__(self, In1, In2, Out):
        # Digital Signal declarations
        self.In1 = dsignal(direction='in', port=In1)
        self.In2 = dsignal(direction='in', port=In2)
        self.Out = dsignal(direction='out', port=Out)

    def digital(self):
        """ Perform AND operation """
        self.Out += self.In1 & self.In2

Command syntax

The syntax for defining an AND gate in a PyAMS simulation:

# Import the model
from pyams.models import AND

# ANDname: name of the AND gate instance
# In1, In2, Out: digital signal ports
ANDname = AND(In1, In2, Out)
