Boolean Unit Subcomponents


The following are the basic building blocks of our circuits and can be found throughout the chip.


AND subcell

If both inputs are TRUE, output is TRUE; otherwise, FALSE.

OR subcell

If either or both inputs are TRUE, output is TRUE; otherwise, FALSE.

NOT subcell

If input is TRUE, output is FALSE, and vice versa.

XOR subcell

If both inputs are either TRUE or FALSE, the output is FALSE; otherwise, TRUE.

8-Bit MUX

Select lines (seen on left before inverters) configure the MUX to pass either an 8-bit input from one or the other side, and output to a specific side according the the location of the MUX in the chip.
