The underlying nature of adiabatic circuits is most accurately characterized at the circuit level as it for traditional technologies. In order to scale system designs logic technologies, modeling necessary. Logic models can facilitate design, development, and verification large digital systems that may be infeasible using simulators. Adiabatic powered with a four stage power clock consisting id...

This Letter presents a novel and extremely compact circuit topology able to implement a generalized threshold logic function with two thresholds. The circuit consists of resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) and heterostructure field effect transistors (HFETs). Introduction: Resonant tunneling devices are nowadays considered the most mature type of quantum-effect devices. They are already operating...

Abstract : In this article we describe one suitable approach that enables the designer to insert a boundary-scan and built-in-self-test concepts, as typical designfor-testability techniques in system-on-chip and multichip module embedded system design, for fault-effects detection. For transient error detection implementation of parity error detection into a 36-bit bus transceiver circuit (32-bi...

In order to handle noisy measurement data, an interval type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) is proposed. In this paper, the evolution of soft fault diagnosis for analog circuits is explored based on a type-2 fuzzy logic system (T2FLS) which can handle measurement uncertainties. In order to evaluate the values of the faulty components accurately, a type-2 fuzzy rule base is adopted to describe the ...

Aiming at the problems of using optocouplers to achieve logic level matching in current communication circuit, there are many components, high cost, and requirements for component parameters. Based on basic circuit matching, this paper combines The research principle triode switch, Schottky diode’s unidirectional conduction low voltage drop characteristics, introduces a inter-module with switch...

State-of-the-art Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can now implement designs with millions of logic gates at speeds and power dissipation that rival custom integrated circuit designs for many applications, but at a fraction of the development cost. This paper will discuss recent experiences on working with undergraduate researchers in the area of FPGA design at the University of Texas at T...

A new multiple-valued current-mode (MVCM) integrated circuit based on dual-rail differential logic, whose currentdriving capability is high at a low supply voltage, is proposed to realize a totally self-checking circuit and an asynchronous-control circuit. Two nMOS transistors with different threshold voltages are used as complementary pass switches in the proposed differential-pair circuit (DP...

1.1. Digital IC Technologies and Logic-Circuit Families The chart in Figure 1 shows the major IC technologies and logic-circuit families that are currently in use. Members of each family are made with the same technology, have a similar circuit structure, and exhibit the same basic features. Each logiccircuit family offers a unique set of advantages and disadvantages. In the conventional style ...
