Library (electronics)

Encyclopedia : L : LI : LIB : Library (electronics)

In electronic design, library often refers to a collection of cells, macros or functional units that perform common operations and are used to build more complex logic blocks. A standard cell library is a collection of low level logic functions such as AND, OR, INVERT, flip-flops, latches and buffers.

An example is a simple XOR logic gate, which can be formed from OR, INVERT and AND gates.
