A simple logic circuit that is used to connect complex logic circuits together. For example, an ASIC chip may contain large functions, such as a microprocessor, memory block or communications ...

Due to the complexity of the logic in these PLA ICs, here CPLDs are used, which internally are still EEPROM-based, but feature many more programmable elements to allow for more complex logic.

But compared to electrical engineers, who can string a large number of logic gates together to carry out complex operations, synthetic biologists looking to program a cellular function are more ...

Furthermore, it has spurred the adoption of layered circuit designs 11,16,17 in which the outputs of basic two-input circuit elements are fed forwards into other logic elements in the next layer.

Complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs) contain the building blocks for hundreds of 7400-serries logic ICs. Complete circuits can be designed on a PC and then uploaded to a CPLD for instant ...

However, implementing complex logic operations optically has been a challenge, limiting the practical applications of optical computing. A recent breakthrough by researchers at Huazhong University ...
