Q1:

A circuit that implements a combinational logic function by storing a list of output values that correspond to all possible input combinations is a(n) ________.

A output logic macrocell

B look-up table

C parallel logic expander

D logic element

ANS:B - look-up table

A lookup table, also known as LUT, is an array used in computer programming that holds values that would otherwise need to be calculated. Thereby it provides approximating a mathematical function and given a set of input values, a lookup operation retrieves the corresponding output values from the table.
