An RTD/Transistor Switching Block and Its Possible Application in Binary and Ternary Adders
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose and demonstrate both a binary and ternary adder circuit based on a resonant tunneling diode (RTD) and a bipolar transistor. The basic switching cell consists of an RTD in series with the base of a bipolar transistor. The RTD is used to set a threshold voltage for the switching of the transistor.

متن کاملEvaluating Ternary Adders using a hybrid Memristor / CMOS approach
This paper investigates the potentials of using a hybrid memristor CMOS technology, called MeMOS, for the realisation of ternary adders. Ternary adders exploit the qualitative advantage of multi-value storage capability of memristors compared to conventional CMOS flip-flops storing only binary values in one cell. Furthermore they carry out an addition in O(1) and are therefore considered. The M...

In this paper, for the first time, the effect of the substrate doping of 22nm double-insulating UTBB silicon-on-insulator device on the switching performance and turn-on delay of the transistor is investigated. In UTBB devices, the substrate voltage is varied from positive to zero then negative voltages to trade-off transistor speed against the leakage current. Various circuit design procedures...
