Three-tenninal quantum devices with novel characteristics have recently become available. The negative transconductance of the resonant tunneling transistor (RTT) is particularly useful for MVL. In this paper we examine the advantages of these devices for implementing very efficient MVL arithmetic building blocks. Full adders are described for both the PositiveDigit 2,4 redundant number system and the Signed-Digit 4,3 minimum-redundant number system. An outlook on nanoelectronic MVL is also given.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
