CMOS-Based HW Topology For Single-Cycle In-Memory XOR/XNOR Operations

A technical paper titled “CMOS-based Single-Cycle In-Memory XOR/XNOR” was published by researchers at University of Tennessee, University of Virginia, and Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). “Big ...

Detect wire breaks with unusual CMOS gate circuit

CMOS devices have large input impedance with input currents on the order of 0.01nA. Adding feedback circuitry can result in a latch-like device that can be used to store bits, and also operate in a ...

All-optical design for inherently energy-conserving reversible gates and circuits

One of the greatest challenges in computing is to reduce the energy consumption, not only for the sake of reducing the tremendous amount of electric power used by the computer-based industry (for ...

Connect passive components to logic gates

Digital gates are fundamentally analog in nature. They use transistors. Sure, these transistors are operated at their conduction extremes (which is why they are called “digital”), but during the logic ...
