This paper presents the rationale for νMOS-based realizations of digital circuits when logic design techniques based on threshold logic gates (TGs) are used. Some practical problems in the νMOS implementation of threshold gates have been identified and solved. The feasibility and versatility of the proposed technique as well as its potential as a low-cost design technique for CMOS technologies have been shown by experimental results from a multi-input Muller C-element. The proposed new realization exhibits better performance related to delay, area and power consumption than the traditional logic implementation.
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.
