| | Logic gate Summary |
 | | In most logic gates, the 0 or FALSE state is symbolized by a voltage level of approximately 0 volts while the 1 or TRUE state is symbolized by a voltage level of approximately five volts (+5 V). |
 | | Logic gate inputs or outputs represent one bit of information in one of two states, usually thought of as a 1 for "on," "yes," or "true," and a 0 for "off," "no," or "false." Individual gates are connected in large numbers to produce the sophisticated computing power available to computers owners today. |
 | | In practice, the output of one gate can only drive a finite number of inputs to other gates, a number called the 'fanout limit', but this limit is rarely reached in the newer CMOS logic circuits, as compared to TTL circuits. |
