متن کاملA High Performance Modulo 2+1 Squarer Design Based on Carbon Nanotube Technology
In this paper, a design of high performance modulo 2+1 squarer is proposed. The primary improvement comes from the algorithm, circuit implementation, and implementation technology. For the algorithm, the partial product matrix reconstruction is optimized to achieve a larger range of input and fewer operation steps. The modified Wallace tree is employed to compress the partial product in each co...
متن کاملSelf-Timed Pipeline Register Operating at Near-Threshold Voltage
In recent years, steady improvement on both performance and energy efficiency of LSI systems by virtue of the miniaturization of CMOS process has been harder. However, lower power devices are still demanded, especially in growing IoT market. Although near-/sub-threshold voltage operation is one of promising ultra-low-power techniques, there are critical issues on exponential performance degrada...
متن کاملFloating - point Unit ( FPU ) Designs with Nano - electromechanical ( NEM ) Relays
Nano-electromechanical (NEM) relays are an alternative to CMOS transistors as the fabric of digital circuits. Circuits with NEM relays offer energy-efficiency benefits over CMOS since they have zero leakage power and are strategically designed to maintain throughput that is competitive with CMOS despite their slow actuation times. The floating-point unit (FPU) is the most complex arithmetic uni...
