Hello,

here's a little question about open colector and wired and.

Out = X Y

Question:

the output will be true when the circuit is closed (as in the figure) with the ground connections "closed". Is that correct?

Is the following correct?

- when they are all unconnected they dont send the 0 from the ground so the output gets the 1 from the Resistance

- when they are all connected they all send the 0 from the ground so the output is 0 because 0 goes above 1 in OC

- when one is connected it sends a 0 from the ground and the output is 0

Thanks.

Hi,

If you're using positive logic, than your two switches make a wired NOR function. The output is true wuth neither input, and is false if one or both is made. A OR B = notC.

Hi,
This is an AND gate. The function is Out=X AND Y.

If both X AND Y is connected then Out is high(+V), and only then!
