As part of the series of publications dedicated to the first Nanochip designed in Guatemala, it is important to understand how the digital logic of an integrated circuit works.

In our daily lives, we use electronic devices, without asking how they work inside. From calculating a sum in Excel, to the advanced image processing in medicine, Everything is based on digital logic, implemented within Integrated circuits.
The greater the amount of transistors that we can encapsulate in less area, Processing capabilities will be optimized in smaller and smaller devices.
Digital logic is the language of modern electronic circuits. Unlike analog systems, which handle continuous values, Digital logic works with only two states: 0 and 1.
These binary values are manipulated by logical gates, which are the fundamental blocks of any integrated circuit.
This is a contribution to the project publications series The Great Jaguar, he Electronic Engineering Nanochip from the University of the Valle de Guatemala (UVG), The first microelectronic circuit designed in the country. It was prepared by Marvin Giovanni Flores, graduate of Electronic Engineering in UVG, student participating in the Nanochip project the Great Jaguar in 2020.
