While operations depend on the logical relationship between the input and the output, a logic gate processes signals that represent a true or false state.ĭuring the 1990s, gate arrays were the rage-at least in electronic design.
In the simplest form, a logic gate has one or more inputs and one output. Logic gates form the basic foundation of any digital system. Whether designed by a farmer or an engineer, gates perform the same function by simply changing the status of something. By the end of my years working at the store, I was armed with the curiosity and adaptability required of engineers, and an appreciation of how important a quality gate is. Most of the store’s sales were to hardworking farmers, looking to build solid gates.
To my surprise, working in the store was excellent preparation for my future career in electronics. Gate arrays used in the 1990s are considered costly and clunky, given the resources needed to design a complex integrated circuit.įPGAs were introduced as a modern, flexible solution to older, more traditional logic gates.įPGAs allow designers to amplify performance and effectiveness while conserving power.Īfter graduating from high school, I applied to work at a local hardware store.
