What Does NOR Gate Mean?

A NOR gate is a type of logic gate that works on the principle of “neither this nor that.” This type of digital logic gate produces a high output only if two binary results are satisfied by a zero or low input.

Techopedia Explains NOR Gate

Logic gates use binary operators to deliver specific results to a circuit board system. The NOR operator is seen as the “negation” of the OR operator. In other words, where an OR operator provides a high or affirmative result for the positive indication of one or the other input, the NOR operator does the opposite – when either one of the positive binaries is present, it returns a low or negative result. It only returns a high or positive value in the absence of both input operators.
