involves specifying component interconnections for gates, flip-flops, etc., often implemented as integrated circuits

A

circuit design

18
Q

it is also known as digital logic circuits

A

Switching Circuits

19
Q

Switching Circuits is also known as?

A

digital logic circuits

20
Q

these are fundamental components of digital systems that manipulate binary signals (0s and 1s) using logical operations

A

switching circuits

21
Q

a fundamental type of digital logic circuit in which the output depends only on the current input values and doesn’t rely on any past input values or the circuit’s internal state

A

combinational circuits

22
Q

These circuits perform specific functions or operations based on the input data, using logical gates to generate the output

A

combinational circuits

23
Q

another fundamental type of digital logic circuit, distinct from combinational circuits

A

sequential circuits

24
Q

it has memory elements, which means they can store and remember information over time. This memory allows them to have an internal state, and the output of a sequential circuit depends not only on the current input values but also on past input values and the circuit’s internal state.

A

sequential circuits
