Current mode logic

Current mode logic is a way for computers to communicate with each other using electric signals. It's like a secret code that only computers can understand. Here's how it works:

Think of electricity as a river that flows through wires. When a computer sends a signal to another computer, it's like tossing a stone into that river. The stone creates ripples that travel along the water. Those ripples are the signal.

Now, imagine you have a stick and you're standing in the river. You can move the stick up and down, making bigger or smaller ripples in the water. In current mode logic, the stick is like a little part of the computer called a transistor.

When a computer wants to send a signal using current mode logic, it sends a tiny current through the transistor, like pushing the stick down into the water. This creates a ripple in the river that travels along the wires, telling the other computer something important.

The receiving computer can read these ripples to understand the message that was sent. It's like looking at the size and shape of the ripples to figure out what the other person is trying to say.

Current mode logic is important because it's really fast and efficient. Like tossing a stone into the river, it's a quick way to deliver a message. And like using a stick to make ripples, it doesn't use up a lot of energy, which is important for making computers that are small and portable.
