Definition

C1Digital Electronics

(technical, academic)A system where higher voltage levels indicate the logical value true (1) and lower voltage levels indicate false (0).

Example

  • In positive logic, a 5V signal represents a logical 1, while a 0V signal represents a logical 0.
  • The microcontroller uses positive logic to process input signals.

C2Logic Systems

(technical, academic)A logical framework that does not include a negation operator.

Example
