gates in integrated circuits

Gates in integrated circuits are tiny electronic components that perform logical operations on electrical signals, similar to how switches control the flow of electricity. They process inputs like "yes" or "no" (represented by high or low voltage) to produce a single output, enabling complex decision-making within electronic devices. Common types include AND, OR, and NOT gates, which combine or modify signals to perform tasks such as data processing and computation. These gates form the building blocks of all digital electronics, from computers to smartphones, enabling them to process information efficiently.
