The majority gate (MAJ gate) is a logic gate that implements the majority function - a device that outputs a HIGH when the majority of its inputs are HIGH, otherwise it outputs a LOW.

MAJ3 gate.svg A 3-input MAJ gate (MAJ3) can be implemented as Equation left-parenthesis a logical-and b right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis a logical-and c right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis b logical-and c right-parenthesis . However the naive implementation will result in up to 30 transistors. Since Equation MAJ left-parenthesis a comma b comma c right-parenthesis equals ModifyingAbove Above ModifyingAbove MAJ left-parenthesis a comma b comma c right-parenthesis With bar With bar , we can define Equation MAJ left-parenthesis a comma b comma c right-parenthesis equals ModifyingAbove Above ModifyingAbove left-parenthesis a logical-and b right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis a logical-and c right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis b logical-and c right-parenthesis With bar With bar and that can be implemented using a single AOI222 which is defined as Equation AOI 222 left-parenthesis a comma b comma c comma d comma e comma f right-parenthesis equals ModifyingAbove left-parenthesis a logical-and b right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis c logical-and d right-parenthesis logical-or left-parenthesis e logical-and f right-parenthesis With bar - i.e. Equation MAJ left-parenthesis a comma b comma c right-parenthesis equals ModifyingAbove upper A upper O upper I Baseline 222 left-parenthesis a comma b comma c comma a comma b comma c right-parenthesis With bar .
