gate, (logic)

A combinational logic function consisting of a number of inputs and outputs and performing one of the Boolean functions AND, OR, exclusive OR, NAND, NOR, or exclusive NOR.

NOTE For the purpose of specifying complexity, (1) buffers and inverters are counted as gates and (2) exclusive OR and exclusive NOR gates, some high-input-count gates, and memory functions are counted as multiple gates.
