Hi IanP,
I have looked through the link. But I still don't know what relationship between Mickey Mouse and Digtial Logic? Why don't call it Donald Duck Logic?

Below is what Paul Horowitz had to say on this subject in his famous book: The Art of Electronics", and .. that was all ..

Hi Ianp,
Actually, I first saw MML in this book. So I wondered why it is called MML. I guess it is because of its simplicity, even the children who like Mickey Mouse can recognize it. Am I right?

Mickey Mouse was a symbol of goodwill and optimism, but his work was oftentimes humorously amateurish or substandard.

It is called Mickey Mouse Logic because M²L=MML=
(M)ickey (M)ouse (L)ogic. It is just a form to
remember the meaning.

My thanks to the original poster and all the respondants, this is one of the more valueable pieces of information I've collected.

I think you are confused by what we are talking about. I want to know what the MML stands for.

Hi echo4,
Your explanation made sense to me. Mickey Mouse = Not so professional but usable and easy to implement.
