A flat-backed D shape, outputting true only when every input is true.
Also known as: AND gate, D shape logic symbol
The D-shaped AND gate outputs true only when all its inputs are. Two incompatible symbol sets exist for logic gates — the distinctive shapes and the rectangular IEC forms — and engineers overwhelmingly use the shapes.
Outputs a true signal only when every one of its inputs is true, implementing logical conjunction in hardware.

Exists in two competing notations: the distinctive shapes, which dominate in practice, and the rectangular IEC forms, which are standardised and comparatively little used.

Is negated by a small circle on its output, which turns it into a NAND gate — one bubble changing the function entirely.

A shape with a straight vertical back and a semicircular front, with two or more input lines entering the flat side and one output leaving the curved side.
Flat back against curved back, for opposite logic.
The basic logic gate symbol set.
The same operation in hardware and in formal logic.
