Digital 101: Logic Gates
Lazarus:
The Buffer,
A buffer is often used in digital logic to condition a signal, and also to buffer a signal up to the level needed to drive the next stage, basically you can think of it as simply a hopped up amplifier who's output is either all the way ON or completely OFF,

Lazarus:
The NOT Gate,
also called an Inverter, or Inverting Buffer,
The NOT Gate does exactly the same thing as the Buffer except its output is inverted,
Lazarus:
The AND Gate,
The AND gate output goes high when both its inputs are high,
Lazarus:
The NAND Gate,
the NAND Gate is simply an AND Gate with its output inverted, so its output goes low when both its inputs are high,
Lazarus:
The OR Gate,
The OR Gates output goes high when either or both its inputs are high,
