Threshold-logic systems consisting of subthreshold CMOS circuits

چکیده
We propose a threshold-logic gate device consisting of subthreshold MOSFET circuits. The device performs threshold-logic operation, using a technique of current addition and subtraction. To examine the operation of the device, we designed sample subsystems, adders, based on majority logic and confirmed their operation by computer simulation. The device has a simple structure and operates at low power dissipation, so it is suitable for constructing cell-based, parallel processing LSIs such as cellular automaton and neural network LSIs.

متن کاملSub-threshold Logic for Ultra-Low Power Consumption
In the ultra low power end of design spectrum when performance is of secondary importance, digital subthreshold logic circuits are more applicable than the regular MOS logic. In this paper, we propose two different subthreshold logic families: 1) variable threshold voltage subthreshold CMOS (VT-Sub-CMOS) and 2) subthreshold dynamic threshold voltage MOS (SubDTMOS) logic. Both these logic famili...
متن کاملLogic Design Considerations for 0.5-Volt CMOS
As the operating supply voltage for commercial CMOS devices falls below 2 V, research activities are underway to develop CMOS integrated circuits that can operate at supply voltages well under 1 V. Although dramatic power reductions can be achieved using low supply voltages in high performance applications, the increased subthreshold leakage that results when transistor threshold voltages are l...

In order to explore the feasibility of large-scale subthreshold logic circuits and to clarify the lower limit of supply voltage (VDD) for logic circuits, the dependence of the minimum operating voltage (VDD min) of CMOS logic gates on the number of stages, gate types and gate width is systematically measured with 90 nm CMOS ring oscillators (RO’s). The measured average VDD min of inverter RO’s ...
