In this paper, a full adder cell based on majority function using Carbon-Nanotube Field-Effect Transistor (CNFET) technology is presented. CNFETs possess considerable features that lead to their wide usage in digital circuits design. For the design of the cell input capacitors and inverters are used. These kinds of design method cause a high degree of regularity and simplicity. The proposed des...

This paper addresses power consumption in CMOS logic gates through an study considering the design and technology points-of-view. Through SPICE simulations, the relationship between charge/discharge and short-circuit components of dynamic power consumption are investigated both considering different logic gates and its evolution through technology scaling. Experimental results show that dynamic...

Quantum-dot cellular automata (QCA) are an emerging technology and a possible alternative for faster speed, smaller size, and low power consumption than semiconductor transistor based technologies. Previously, adder designs based on conventional designs were examined for implementation with QCA technology. This paper utilizes the QCA characteristics to design a fault-tolerant adder that is more...

This paper explores the connection between collaborative consumption and technology, in particular the internet, smartphones and social network sites (SNSs). Based on a content analysis of 63 newspaper articles about collaborative consumption, it is argued that collaborative consumption is constructed as a high-tech phenomenon in three main ways: first, technology is depicted as enabling collab...

In this paper, a new circuit scheme is proposed to reduce the power consumption of dynamic circuits. In the proposed circuit, an NMOS keeper transistor is used to maintain the voltage level in the output node against charge sharing, leakage current and noise sources. Using the proposed keeper scheme, the voltage swing on the dynamic node is lowered to reduce the power consumption of wide fan-in...

Research into adoption, acceptance and consumption of Information Technology (IT) within its diffusion cycle has been extensively studied in Information Systems (IS) and marketing. However, research often focused too narrowly on technology adoption rates and drivers leading to technology adoption and acceptance. This paper discusses how understanding the social structure of a consumer’s economy...

With the advancements in mobile technology and its utilization in every facet of life, mobile popularity has enhanced exponentially. The biggest constraint in the utility of mobile devices is that they are powered with batteries. Optimizing mobile’s size and weight is always the choice of designer, which led limited size and capacity of battery used in mobile phone. In this paper analysis of th...

In this paper, a new structure possessing the advantages of low-power consumption, less hardware and high-speed is proposed for fuzzy controller. The maximum output delay for general fuzzy logic controllers (FLC) is about 86 ns corresponding to 11.63 MFLIPS (fuzzy logic inference per second) while this amount of the delay in the designed fuzzy controller becomes 52ns that corresponds to 19.23 M...
