AND gate
Dual-true output producer
An AND gate is a basic digital logic circuit that outputs a signal only when all its inputs receive signals simultaneously.
If any input is off, the output stays off.
AND gates are fundamental building blocks in computer processors and electronic systems, implementing the logical conjunction operation: The circuit uses an AND gate to ensure both switches must be closed.
