'''Discrete logic''' is a term that refers to logic circuits that are made almost entirely of discrete [[logic gates|logic]] chips such as [[and gate|AND]] and [[or gate|ORs]] (or their complements [[nand gate|NAND]] and [[nor gate|NORs]]). While it can be said that any digital system is made of basic logic gates, this term is reserved for systems that are primarily made of individual discrete components such as [[resistors]], [[capacitors]], discrete logic chips and single-functionality chips such as those provided by the [[7400 series]].

Likewise, a '''discrete logic chip''' is integrated circuit that performs a single function such as [[ANDing]] or [[XORing]] two inputs. An example of such chip is the [[7404]] hex [[inverter]] - an IC that contains 6 individual [[inverters]]. This is contrast with complex ICs such as [[microprocessor]]s and [[microcontroller]]s.
