چکیده
As the size of CMOS devices is scaled down to the nanoscale level, noise interferences start to significantly affect the VLSI circuit performance. Because the noise is random and dynamic in nature, a probabilistic-based approach is more suitable to handle signal errors than the conventional deterministic circuit designs. However, probabilistic-based designs cost larger hardware area. In this paper, we design and implement a hardware-efficient probabilistic-based noise-tolerant circuit, an 8-bit Markov Random Field carry lookahead adder (MRF_CLA), in 0.13μm CMOS process technology. The measurement results show that the proposed MRF_CLA can provide 24.5dB of noise-immunity enhancement as compared with its conventional CMOS design. Moreover, the transistor count can be saved 42% as compared to the state-of-art MRF design [1].

A Minimal-Cost Inherent-Feedback Approach for Low-Power MRF-Based Logic Gates
The Markov random field (MRF) theory has been accepted as a highly effective framework for designing noise-tolerant nanometer digital VLSI circuits. In MRF-based design, proper feedback lines are used to control noise and keep the circuits in their valid states. However, this methodology has encountered two major problems that have limited the application of highly noise immune MRF-based circui...

As the size of CMOS devices is scaled down to lower the power consumption and space occupied on the chip to the nano-scale, unfortunately, noise is not reduced accordingly. As a result, interference due to noise can significantly affect circuit performance and operation. Since noises are random and dynamic in nature, probabilistic noise-tolerant approaches are more desirable to handle this prob...

Technology scaling reduces device threshold voltages to mitigate speed loss due to scaled supply voltages.

It is shown that deep submicron CMOS technologies lead to 60%−70% degradation in noise-immunity d...
