Engineering Differences between Logic Function and Logic Circuit

AI Thread Summary
A logic function represents a mathematical expression using operators such as AND, OR, and NOT, while a logic circuit is a physical representation of that function using logic gates. Each component, including comparators, multiplexers, adders, registers, and shifters, has its own specific logic function. The distinction lies in the abstract nature of logic functions versus the tangible nature of logic circuits. Understanding this difference is crucial for designing and analyzing digital systems. Each logic component can be expressed through both a logic function and its corresponding logic circuit.

Homework Statement



The task required me to find the logic function / circuit for :

a. comparator
b. multiplexer
c. adder
d. register
e. shifter

So what are the differences between logic function and logic circuit?
Thank you :)

A logic function is just an expression using operators {AND, OR, NOT}.
A logic circuit is basically the drawing corresponding to the function using the gates
AND and OR and the inverter.

Thank you Max for answering my question.. So you mean, all of them like Shifter and Register have their own logic function?
