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
