logic circuit definition of logic circuit in the Free Online Encyclopedia.

logic circuit, electric circuit whose output depends upon the input in a way that can be expressed as a function in symbolic logic symbolic logic or mathematical logic, formalized system of deductive logic, employing abstract symbols for the various aspects of natural language.

Logic circuits that perform particular functions are called gates. Basic logic circuits include the AND gate, the OR gate, and the NOT gate, which perform the logical functions AND, OR, and NOT. Logic circuits can be built from any binary electric or electronic devices, including switches switch, electrical device having two states: on, or closed; and off, or open. Ideally a switch offers a zero impedance to a current when it is closed, and it offers infinite impedance when open.

Modern technology has produced integrated logic circuits, modules that perform complex logical functions. A major use of logic circuits is in electronic digital computers. Fluid logic circuits have been developed whose function depends on the flow of a liquid or gas rather than on an electric current.

logic circuit

A circuit that performs some processing or controlling function. Contrast with memory.

logic circuit [′läj·ik ‚sər·kət]

(computer science)

A computer circuit that provides the action of a logic function or logic operation. Also known as logic gate.
