logic circuit
Digital decision pathway
A logic circuit is an electronic circuit that performs logical operations—AND, OR, NOT, and their combinations—using transistors or other switching elements.
These circuits form the foundation of digital computing, processing binary signals (ones and zeros) to execute calculations and make decisions.
Complex logic circuits are built by combining simpler ones: The CPU contains millions of logic circuits.
