logic circuits
Boolean gate arrays
Logic circuits are electronic components that perform Boolean operations—the basic building blocks of digital computing.
They process binary signals (ones and zeros) through gates like AND, OR, and NOT to execute calculations and decisions.
Every digital device from calculators to smartphones relies on millions of logic circuits working together: The processor contains billions of logic circuits etched onto silicon.
