. We show how an extended Prolog can be exploited to implement di erent electronic CAD tools. Starting with a computer hardware description language (CHDL) several problems like digital circuit analysis, simulation, test generation and code generation for programmable microprocessors are discussed. For that purpose the MIMOLA (machine independent microprogramming language) system MSS (MIMOLA ha...

This paper introduces a new design of penternary inverter gate based on graphene nanoribbon field effect transistor (GNRFET). The penternary logic is one of Multiple-valued logic (MVL) circuits which are the best substitute for binary logic because of its low power-delay product (PDP) resulting from reduced complexity of interconnects and chip area. GNRFET is preferred over Si-MOSFET for circui...

A macro design approach is discussed which combines the cost-effective attributes of array logic structures with those of random logic. These macros utilize the following features: (a) internal feedback registers for performing sequential logic, (b) masking and submasking to reduce the number of words in the array for certain functions, (c) control of the array’s output level to vary the appare...

This study examines the effect of library instruction on two sections of the same senior-level electrical engineering course in analog integrated circuit design. One section received a onehour library instruction session while the other section did not. The premise of the study is that inclusion of library instruction will result in higher utilization of scholarly resources in the students’ fin...

Biological circuits are developed as biological parts within a cell to carry out logical functions resembling those studied in electronics circuits. These circuits can be performed as a method to vary cellular functions, to develop cellular responses to environmental conditions, or to regulate cellular developments. This research explored the possibility of synthetic biology based on the geneti...

The dynamic power requirement of CMOS circuits is rapidly becoming a major concern in the design of personal information systems and large computers. Battery operated portable computers and wireless communication products have often been used. Thus low power integrated circuit design has been strongly demanded for implementation. One of the promising techniques of low power design is adiabatic ...
