This article is about XOR in the sense of an electronic logic gate (e.g. CMOS 4030). For XOR in the purely logical sense, see Exclusive disjunction, for other uses of similar terms, see XOR (disambiguation). INPUT

A XOR B | | 0 | 0 | 0 | | 0 | 1 | 1 | | 1 | 0 | 1 | | 1 | 1 | 0 | The XOR gate is a digital logic gate that implements exclusive disjunction - it behaves according to the truth table to the right. A HIGH output (1) results if one, and only one, of the inputs to the gate is HIGH (1). If both inputs are LOW (0) or both are HIGH (1), a LOW output (0) results. Exclusive disjunction, also known as exclusive or and symbolized by XOR or EOR, is a logical operation on two operands that results in a logical value of true if and only if one of the operands, but not both, has a value of true. ...

Hardware description and pinout XOR gates are basic logic gates, and as such they are recognised in TTL and CMOS ICs. The standard, 4000 series, CMOS IC is the 4070, which includes four independent, two-input, XOR gates. The 4070 replaces the less reliable 4030, but keeps the pinout. The pinout diagram is as follows: TTL is an elite band of men and boys that originate, live or are involved in the tadley bmx scene. ...

More than two inputs The XOR operation is a binary operation and is therefore defined only for two inputs. [1] It is nevertheless common in electronic design to talk of "XORing" three or more signals. In mathematics, a binary operation is a calculation involving two input quantities, in other words, an operation whose arity is two. ...
The most common interpretation of this usage is that the first two signals are fed into an XOR gate, then the output of that gate is fed into a second XOR gate together with the third signal, and so on for any remaining signals. The result is a circuit that outputs a 1 when the number of 1s at its inputs is odd, and a 0 when the number of incoming 1s is even. This makes it practically useful as a parity generator or a modulo-2 adder. In the usage in telecommunication, the number of 1 bits in the binary value is counted. ...

 A second interpretation is also possible, based on both the linguistic sense of the term "exclusive OR" and the IEC symbol for an XOR gate (see right). This interpretation states that the output is 1 when one or other of the inputs, exclusively, is 1. The "=1" in the IEC symbol implies the same thing. However, the IEC symbol was not intended to be modified by adding further inputs, and becomes invalid when this is done. This interpretation is rarely used in electronics, since parity generators and adders are in more common use than "1 of n" detectors. Image File history File links Three_ones_EORed. ...
