Is a Digital Circuit the Same as a Logic Circuit?

Click For Summary
A digital circuit is indeed synonymous with a logic circuit, as both involve the use of logic functions and gates that adhere to Boolean algebra. Digital circuits process binary data, while logic circuits specifically implement logical operations. Although it may be impractical to express complex data like voice or images solely in Boolean terms, it is theoretically possible. The discussion emphasizes the foundational relationship between digital circuits and logic circuits in electronic design. Understanding this connection is crucial for grasping the principles of digital electronics.

Basically, is a digital circuit the same as a logic circuit? I.e. Is a logic circuit another name for a digital circuit because am i right in thinking that all digital circuits are a set of logic functions e.g. Logic gates which follow the rules of boolean algebra?

You are correct.
 
Correct though it would be pointless to express digital voice or images in boolean logic you could certainly do so.
 
What mathematics software should engineering students use? Is it correct that much of the engineering industry relies on MATLAB, making it the tool many graduates will encounter in professional settings? How does SageMath compare? It is a free package that supports both numerical and symbolic computation and can be installed on various platforms. Could it become more widely used because it is freely available? I am an academic who has taught engineering mathematics, and taught the...
