U17
OR Gate
OR gates are used in digital logic circuits to perform a logical add. When one of the inputs is high (1), the
output is high. The output will only be low (0) when both inputs are low.

This circuit demonstrates how the OR Gate
(U17) works. Connect one end of the red
and black jumper wires to the A & B
inputs on U17 and the loose ends to either
low voltage (denoted as a “0”) or high
voltage (denoted as a “1”). If either input
A OR input B are high (1, either green LED
is on), then the Q output on U17 will be
high (1), and the red LED (D1) will be on.

The output of an OR gate is often
represented as the sum of the inputs, so
Q = A+B.
