Abstract:

   In this paper we propose a simulation study to carry out dynamic analysis of CNTFET-based digital circuit, introducing in the semi-empirical compact model for CNTFETs, already proposed by us, both the quantum capacitance effects and the sub-threshold currents. To verify the validity of the obtained results, a comparison with Wong model was carried out. Our model may be easily implemented both in SPICE and in Verilog-A, obtaining, in this last case, the development time in writing the model shorter, the simulation run time much shorter and the software much more concise and clear than Wong model.

Static Simulation of CNTFET-based Digital Circuits

   In this paper we implement a simple DC model for CNTFETs already proposed by us in order to carry out static analysis of basic digital circuits. To verify the validity of the obtained results, they are compared with those of Wong model, resulting in good agreement, but obtaining a lighter ensuring compile and shorter execution time, which are the main character...

Simulation of Cntfet Digital Circuits: a Verilog-a Implementation

A Verilog-A compact model for Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFETs) has been implemented to study basic digital circuits. The model, based on the hypothesis of fully ballistic transport in a mesoscopic system between two non-reflective contacts, has been structured to allow an easy implementation in Verilog-A language and has been compared with experimental data, showing a good agr...

Parallel Logic Simulation of Digital Circuits Abstract Parallel Logic Simulation of Digital Circuits

Parallel Logic Simulation of Digital Circuits By Hong Kyu Kim Parallel discrete event simulation (PDES) is e cient in simulating a large digital circuit. In this dissertation, two techniques are proposed to improve the performance of PDES in logic simulation. One is a partitioning algorithm and the other is a hybrid parallel simulation protocol. Experiments were performed to demonstrate that th...

Neural Network Simulation of Digital Circuits

This paper discusses the process of behavioral conversion of digital circuits used for signal processing applications into its neural network counterpart. The neural network so devised represents simulated digital circuits without any deviation in its input–output characteristics. However, the design of such networks depends entirely on different parameters and thus the design process too. It i...
