Patent Abstract

The circuit has a storage unit for storing circuit conditions and a logic unit for determining the successive conditions, particularly for generating output values by processing circuit conditions, particularly by integrating input values. A time generating unit is provided for determining successive time points. An independent claim is also included for a method for producing a circuit.
