Record 1 2003-02-27

English

Subject field(s)
  • Computer Hardware
  • Information Processing (Informatics)
DEF

A system based on logic gates whose outputs cannot be determined at a given time if only knowing the state of its inputs at that same time (unlike combinational logic systems).

OBS

The state of the outputs not only depends on the state of the inputs, but also on the history of the system: such a system remembers [its] past history and thus implements memory.

DEF

Système à base de portes logiques dont les sorties à un instant donné ne peuvent pas être entièrement déterminées par la connaissance de l'état des entrées (contrairement à un système logique combinatoire).
