Module 4 - Complex Logic Gates

A complex logic gate is a digital circuit component that performs a logical function built from a combination of basic logic gates like AND, OR, and NOT. The most commonly used complex gates are NAND (Not-AND), NOR (Not-OR), XOR (Exclusive-OR), and XNOR (Exclusive-NOR).

The primary advantage of using complex gates is to simplify digital circuit design. By combining the functions of multiple basic gates into a single component, complex gates help reduce the total number of Integrated Circuits (ICs) needed to build a circuit. This makes the final circuit more compact, often more power-efficient, and potentially faster.
