E6C11

In Figure E6-3, which is the schematic symbol for the NOT operation (inversion)?

  • A.2
  • B.4
  • C.5 (correct answer)
  • D.6

WhySymbol 5 in Figure E6-3 is the schematic symbol for the NOT operation, inversion. In Figure E6-3, symbol 5 shows a simple triangle (buffer) shape with a small bubble at its output, the standard schematic symbol for an inverter, performing the NOT operation on a single input, answer C. Symbol 2 is a NAND gate, symbol 4 is a NOR gate, and symbol 6 is a plain gate shape without an inversion bubble, none of which represents the single-input NOT operation being asked for.
