Abstract
Gate circuits have been in use for a number of years, are generally well known, and are relatively easy to model mathematically. In this chapter we define several gate circuit classes, some reflecting topological properties and others arising from behavioral characteristics. We show how gate circuits can be modeled in a very general, mathematically precise, framework. In the next chapter we show how modern MOS circuits can also be modeled in our framework; this enables us later to derive a theory applicable to gates as well as MOS circuits. For additional information concerning gate circuits the reader should refer to a basic text on logic design, for example [25, 77, 88, 94].
