The inverter or NOT gate
- Using T1 = TIP31C, R = 10k, R2 = 1k, Vcc = 10VDC construct the circuit shown at the right.
- Apply 0V to input A. What's the output Q?
- Apply 10V to input A. What's the output Q?
- Taking 0 (or close to zero) volts to be logic state "0" and 10 (or close to ten) volts to be logic state "1" construct the logic state truth table for this circuit (see right).
- What type of logic gate does the truth table indicate?
