Logic Gates Characteristics:

- Computers use logic gates to process information.
- Logic gates recieve two types of electronic signals: ON or OFF, or 1 or 0.
- An electronic signal that has a strength below 0.5V corresponds to OFF or 0.
- An electronic signal that has a strength between 4V and 5V corresponds to ON or 1.
- There are several types of logic gates.
- The three basic logic gates are: NOT, AND, and OR.
