Transmission gates represent a very useful application of logic gates. A trnasmission gate allows a signal to pass only when a certain condition is met, and the same gate can also invert the signal if necessary.

[edit] AND Transmission Gate

This is the basic transmission gate. The "condition signal" is one input, and the "signal input" is the other. When the condition input is high, any high at the signal input will result in a high at the output, and a low at the signal input will result in a low. Therfore, the signal at the signal input is "transmitted" through the gate when the condition signal goes high.
