Abstract:
An electronic device for performing a logic operation based on a first input signal and a second input signal, said device comprising:an input for receiving said first and second input signals; andan electronically configurable element, which element has a logic state that can be adjusted in response to logic values of said first and second signals;wherein said device can be controlled to perform at least a first and second logic operation on said signals, the first logic operation being different from the second logic operation; andfurther wherein said logic operation can be controlled by setting the logic state of the device to an initialization state, such that said device performs a first boolean operation when the logic state is set to a first initialization state, and said device performs a second boolean operation when the logic state is set to a second initialization state.
