NOR GateTruth table for a NOR gate

Input A	Input B	Output
false	false	true
false	true	false
true	false	false
true	true	false

A NOR gate (sometimes referred to by its extended name, Negated OR gate) is a digital logic gate with two or more inputs and one output with behavior that is the opposite of an OR gate. The output of a NOR gate is true all of its inputs are false. If one or more of a NOR gate's inputs are true, then the output of the NOR gate is false.

The truth table for a NOR gate with two inputs appears to the right.

Symbols

Each of the symbols below can be used to represent a NOR gate. There are multiple international standards defined, and one may preferred over the other in your region of the world.

Trusted by Teachers

I just wanted to thank you for creating the Logicly gate simulation. I am an IT teacher using it with my sixth grade students. It is an incredible resource.

Enjoyed by Students

I'd just like to thank you for making Logicly. I found it very useful when I was trying to design circuits for my engineering course at University.
