In this paper the design of digital CMOS threshold logic circuits for low power applications is investigated. Two different basic elements for threshold circuits are presented. These circuits are characterized with regard to power and speed. More complex functions, i.e. a 1-bit full adder and an 8-bit carry-lookahead adder are given. Moreover an approach for the determination of the WIL-ratios for the transistors with an evolutionary algorithm is discussed.
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.
