A Bottom Crossover Inverter Chip.

A Bottom Crossover Inverter Chip is one of the possible Logic Chips that appear in the Electronics Mini-Game.

This chip inverts the state of the bottom wire, and then switches the position of both wires.

Action[]

This chip takes electricity (or lack thereof) from the top input wire, and crosses it over so that it comes out the bottom output wire. At the same time, it reads the state of the bottom input wire, inverts it (turning electricity into no electricity, or vice versa) and crosses that over so that it comes out the top output wire.

Expression[]

The logic of a Bottom Crossover Inverter chip can be expressed using the following pseudo code:

Top_Output = The_Opposite_Of (Bottom_Input);
Bottom_Output = Top_Input;

Possible Outcomes[]

Possibility #1

The bottom input wire carries no current into the chip. It is inverted so that the wire is now suddenly carrying electricity, and the two wires are switched one over the other. This means that the electricity on the wire is now passed to the top output.

The bottom input wire is not carrying any current into the chip. That is inverted, so it is now carrying electricity. Both wires are crossed over one another, and since now both are carrying electricity, both output wires are red.

The bottom input wire is carrying electricity into the chip. That is inverted, so it is now carrying no electricity. Both wires are crossed over one another, but since now neither is carrying electricity, both output wires are green.
Same result as:

Both wires are carrying electricity into the chip. First, the bottom wire is inverted, meaning it now carries no current. Then the wired are crossed over one another, so the electricity still carried from the top input goes out the bottom.
