The circuit in the given figure is
positive logic XOR gate
negative logic OR gate
negative logic AND gate
positive logic AND gate
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Since V(I) is lower state than V(0) it is a negative logic circuit. Since diodes are in reversed parallel, it is an AND gate.

Note: In Boolean algebra it is recognized that a positive logic OR is a negative logic AND. Similarly a positive logic AND is a negative logic OR.

Not getting, Please Explain briefly.

It is -ve because 0 volts is shown as a logic high, and 1 volt is shown by logic low.

Please, clearly explain about positive and negative logic.

If diodes are in series then what is the answer?

The actual configuration is for Positive logic (i,e logic 1= Vr and logic 0 = 0) AND gate, BUT since the logic has been changed to negative logic (i, e logic 1= 0, and logic 0= Vr), so instead of AND gate it will be OR gate. So, it is a Negative Logic OR gate.

How OR gate? anyone explain me clearly.

This is negative logic or gate.

Badhshah said:   8 years ago
That is the diodes are connected in the reverse direction that is for 0 it is ON for diode it is forward biased when negative pulse is applied.

But if the single diode is forward biased then we are getting the output.

i.e. It's an OR gate and the input is a negative(0).
We know that for OR gate if one input is 1 then the output is 1.
So, the answer is -ve logic OR gate.

It is neg logic or gate as the diode is reverse biased it follows the following table:

0 0 = 0 (as the current flows to both of the diode the v0 output is zero)
0 1 = 0
1 0 = 0
1 1 = 1
it is pos logic and gate.
so it is neg logic or.
