An XNOR gate ( X clusive N OT OR ) is a logic gate with a logical “1” at the output if “1” is applied to an even number of inputs and “0” to the remaining ones. In the case of two inputs, the output is “1” if “1” is present at both inputs or “0” is present at both inputs (in the second case “1” is present at zero inputs and 0 counts as an even number). The XNOR link is also referred to as equivalence , bi-implication or biconditional. Together with the XOR it forms a Boolean ring , like AND with OR and NAND with NOR.

The XNOR gate can also be constructed using an exclusive-or gate with a downstream non-gate (inverter).
hardware
The component 4077 from the 4000 logic family and the 74x7266 from the 74 series contain four XNOR gates with two inputs each.
