Enable and Disable Functions
- AND and OR gates can both be used to enable or disable a transmitted waveform.
- For a two input AND gate, one input is the signal and the other input is the enable pulse.
- The enable of an AND gate is high active. That is, when the enable is high the input signal will appear on the output.
- When the AND gate enable input is low, the output will remain a constant low signal.
- A two input OR gate can also be used with one input the desired signal and the other input is the enable.
- The enable input of an OR gate is low active. This means that the output will be a copy of the input signal when the enable is low.
- When the enable input of an OR gate is high, the output of the gate will be a constant high signal.
