{{Use American English|date = April 2019}}
'''Electronic hardware''' refers to interconnected [[Electronics|electronic]] components which perform [[analog circuit|analog]] and/or [[logic]] operations on received and locally stored [[information]] to produce as [[output]] and/or store resulting new information and/or to provide control for output actuator mechanisms.▼
▲'''Electronic hardware'''
Electronic hardware can range from individual [[chips]]{{Disambiguation needed|date=June 2011}}/[[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.▼
▲Electronic hardware can range from individual [[Computer chips|chips]]
The term ''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.▼
