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
