Constructing Dynamic Multiple-Input Multiple-Output Logic Gates

Abstract EN

Investigation of computing devices with dynamic architecture which makes devices have reconfigurable ability is an interesting research direction for designing the next generation of computer chip.

In this paper, we present a window threshold method to construct such dynamic logic architecture.

Here, dynamic multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) logic gates are proposed, analyzed, and implemented.

By using a curve-intersections-based graphic method, we illustrate the relationships among the threshold, the control parameter, and the functions of logic gates.

A noise analysis on all the parameters is also given.

The chips based on the proposed schemes can be transformed into different arrangements of logic gates within a single clock cycle.

With these schemes in hand, it is conceivable to build more flexible, robust, cost effective, yet general-purpose computing devices.
