Schematic Symbols for Digital Integrated Circuits

The following is a guide to the symbols used for digital or logic ICs in this manual. The symbology is based upon American National Standard ANSI Y32.14, Graphic Symbols for Logic Diagrams (Two-StateDevices), but does not strictly follow the standard. Figure 6 should be consulted for the explanation of digital IC symbols used in Sections VIII and IX.

Definitions

Logic Element. The part or parts of a logic device symbol having a well-defined logic function (OR, AND, FLIP-FLOP, and so on) and one or more outputs. The inputs of a logic element may be data or control inputs; the outputs are data outputs.

Control Block. The part of a logic device symbol to which all logic lines common to a group of logic elements are connected. Lines connected to a control block are control lines.

Function Label. The notation within a logic device symbol that denotes its overall logic function (counter, shift register, multiplexer, and so on)

Line Label. The symbol or abbreviation associated with an output or input line that defines the action of the line.

Indicator Symbol. A symbol associated with an input or output line which defines the active state or special characteristics of the line.
