15. Terminology for LAB Component: has one or more inputs and one or more outputs which take on discrete values Combinational logic component: the output value depends present values of inputs Sequential circuit component: the output values depend on present and the past input values. In other words the sequential component has memory

16. a schematic is a design composed of a number of interconnected components components are connected together by wires or nets a Symbol is used to create hierarchy. Symbol is viewed as a functional block and defined with a separate schematic pins are input or output signals of symbol More Terminology net Input pin Output pin Input pin
