Reconfigurable logic in nanoelectronic switching networks

چکیده
We demonstrate how to configure and reconfigure a nanoelectronic nonlinear network to a universal set of logic gates by applying sequences of voltage pulses to the edges of the network. The nanoelectronic device is designed to consist of a self-assembled network of nanoparticles connected by two-terminal linker elements with hysteretic behaviour, allowing voltage-controlled switching between a linear and nonlinear current–voltage characteristic (IVC), making reconfigurable logic possible.

متن کاملFast Reconfigurable Crossbar Switching in FPGAs
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) and reconfigurable crossbar switches currently represent distinct classes of integrated circuits. There is a need, however, for user-programmable devices that can provide both digital logic and fast, reconfigurable crossbar switching of digital signals within a single package. An investigation into the use of dynamically reconfigurable FPGAs for this purpo...
متن کاملHybrid Semiconductor/Nanoelectronic Circuits
This is a very brief review of the recent work on the development of hybrid semiconductor/nanodevice integrated circuits. Such a circuit will combine a CMOS subsystem, and a nanowire crossbar with simple bistable two-terminal devices formed at each crosspoint, connected with an area-distributed “CMOL” interface. Simulations have shown that the hybrid circuits may serve as the basis for (i) tera...
متن کامل5 Dielectrophoretic Architectures
Electric programmability has been the basis for decades of advances in integrated computer component performance. However, once fabricated or assembled, such components—whether blade servers in a data center or microprocessors on a circuit board—are typically stuck in place and require human intervention for reconfiguration, removal, or replacement. For continued advances at the architectural l...
متن کاملComplementary Split Ring Resonator Effects on Radiation Pattern Reconfigurable Circular Microstrip Antennas
In this study, a radiation pattern reconfigurable microstrip antenna is designed and fabricated. The antenna’s radiation pattern is directed in 9 different angles by employing a radiating patch and embedding complementary split ring resonators (CSRR) on the ground plane. The radiating patch is of circular shape, while for CSRR elements both circular and rectangular shapes are investigated. The ...
