AND Gate Truth Table

In Logic Gates, a truth table represent all possible combinations of binary input and their corresponding binary outputs. AND Logic Gate is a very basic digital logic gate that produces an output of 1 (HIGH) when at all inputs are 1. The output becomes 0 (LOW) when at least one input is 0.

The following diagram represent the very basic Boolean Expression, AND Gate Symbol, and AND Gate Truth Table.

AND Gate Truth Table

Truth tables represent all possible input combinations and their corresponding outputs for a logic gate. AND Gate truth tables for various numbers of inputs are explained below

The total possible input combinations in a truth table are calculated using 2ⁿ, where n is the number of inputs.

For example:

  • For 2 inputs, there will be  22 = 4 combinations
  • For 3 inputs, there will be  23 = 8 combinations
  • For 4 inputs, there will be 24 = 16 combinations
  • For 5 inputs, there will be 25 = 32 combinations
  • For 6 inputs, there will be 26 = 64 combinations
  • For 7 inputs, there will be 27 = 128 combinations
  • For 8 inputs, there will be 28 = 256 combinations
  • For 9 inputs, there will be 29 = 512 combinations
  • For 10 inputs, there will be 210 = 1024 combinations

and so on…

  • For A=0 and B = 0, the output (X) will be 0 because neither input is active.
