Any product that contains a logic circuit is classified as digital hardware. - Moore's Law states that the number of a transistors on a chip doubles every two years - The International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS) forecasts technology, including the number of transistors on a chip - Multiple integrated circuits can be connected using a printed circuit board, or PCB. - *Standard chips* conform to an agreed upon standard for functionality and physical configuration. They are usually less than 100 transistors in size, and provide basic building blocks for logic. - These chips are combined to form a larger logic circuit - THey were popu # Definitions - **Xtor** is an abbreviation for *transistor* - **Moore's Law** states that the number of transistors on a chip doubles every two years.
