'''Electronic hardware''' consists of ed [[electronic component]]s which perform [[analog circuit|analog]] or [[Digital electronics|logic]] operations on received and locally stored information to produce as output or store resulting new information or to provide control for output actuator mechanisms.▼
▲'''Electronic hardware''' consists of
Electronic hardware can range from individual [[Computer chips|chips]]/[[electrical network|circuits]] to distributed [[information processing]] systems. Well designed electronic hardware is composed of hierarchies of functional modules which inter-communicate via precisely defined interfaces.▼

'''Hardware logic''' is primarily a differentiation of the data processing circuitry from other more generalized circuitry. For example nearly all computers include a [[power supply]] which consists of circuitry not involved in data processing but rather powering the data processing circuits. Similarly, a computer may output information to a [[computer monitor]] or [[audio amplifier]] which is also not involved in the computational processes.
