glue logic

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.
glue logic
A simple logic circuit that is used to connect complex logic circuits together. For example, an ASIC chip may contain large functions, such as a microprocessor, memory block or communications block, which are tied together via small amounts of glue logic. At the printed circuit board (PCB) level, glue logic may be implemented with simple "jelly bean" chips ("glue chips") that contain a few gates all the way to programmable logic devices (see PLD). See IC macro, standard cell and discrete logic.

The chipset refers to a group of chips that provide an intelligent interface for the core components of a computer - CPU, memory, graphics, I/O system, described as core logic or glue logic.
Moreover, its flexible set of networking interfaces reduces system costs by eliminating glue logic and will enable OEMs to leverage millions of lines of code that are successfully running on PowerQUICC devices.
There's no need for glue logic, as the chip is designed from the ground up to interface directly with the SLP_S3#, and SLP_S5# ACPI signals from Intel's i865/i875 chipsets.
