Lesson Details

Key learning points

Logic gate simulator software allows you to create an interactive circuit diagram.
You can test that the circuit you have created is correct by changing the inputs and observing the output.
A logic gate simulator can help you quickly generate a truth table for a logic circuit.

Common misconception

Each input can only be wired to one logic gate.

Logic gates can be combined to create complex circuits that represent any number of logic statements combined. This can involve the same input being connected to multiple logic gates.
