ECCGen is a logic synthesizer for error control coding circuits. It takes H matrices as inputs and produces circuit schematics in two steps, literal minimization and gate/pin assignment. Di erent from conventional logic synthesis tools, it takes a structural approach to avoid the combinatorial explosion problem in Boolean function and/or true table representations of ECC circuits. Moreover, the...

A translator for behavioral to structural descriptions of combinational logic circuits is presented. The input is in the form of a Boolean equation using V erilog syntax and the output is a V erilog net-list. The structure of the output circuit is in terms of an Exclusive-OR Sum-of-Products (ESOP) form which is noted for ease of testability and a reduced number of logic gates as compared to tra...

Electromagnetic interference (EMI), once the exclusive concern of equipment designers working with high-speed signals, is no longer limited to a narrow class of high-end applications. Continued innovation in semiconductor technology has resulted in the ready availability of cost-effective, high-performance system-on-chip (SoC) devices, microcontrollers (MCUs), processors, digital signal process...

In this paper, novel hybrid MOSFET(HMOS) structure has been proposed to reduce the gate leakage current drastically. This novel hybrid MOSFET (HMOS) uses source/drain-to-gate non-overlap region in combination with high-K layer/interfacial oxide as gate stack. The extended S/D in the non-overlap region is induced by fringing gate electric field through the high-k dielectric spacer. The gate leak...

In advance longwall mining, the safety of mine network, production rate, and consequently, economic conditions of a mine are dependent on the stability conditions of gate roadways. The gate roadway stability is a function of two important factors: 1) characteristics of the excavation damaged zone (EDZ) above the gate roadway and 2) loading effect due to the caving zone (CZ) above the longwall w...

In this paper, we propose a new heterostructure dual material gate junctionless field-effect transistor (H-DMG-JLFET), with negative differential resistance (NDR) characteristic. The drain and channel material are silicon and source material is germanium. The gate electrode near the source is larger. A dual gate material technique is used to achieve upward band bending in order to access n-i-p-...

Emerging technologies with asymptotic zero power dissipation, such as quantum computing, require the logical operations to be done in a reversible manner. In recent years, the problem of synthesizing Boolean functions in the reversible logic domain has gained significant research attention. The efficiency of the synthesis methods is measured in terms of quantum cost, gate cost, garbage lines, l...

The effect of conformational changes in the gate arm of a three-terminal device is investigated. In the ground state, the gate (triphenyl) arm is nonplanar, where the middle phenyl ring is approximately 30° out-of-plane relative to other two rings. At this geometry, the calculated tunnel current (Id) as a function of external bias (Vds) across the two D−A substituted arms exhibits a typical ins...

A random boolean cellular automaton is a network of boolean gates where the inputs, the boolean function, and the initial state of each gate are chosen randomly. In this article, each gate has two inputs. Let a (respectively c) be the probability the the gate is assigned a constant function (respectively a non-canalyzing function, i.e., equivalence or exclusive or). Previous work has shown that...

A Linear Feedback Shift Register, or LFSR, can implement an event counter by shifting whenever an event occurs. A single two-input exclusive-OR gate is often the only additional hardware necessary to allow a shift register to generate, by successive shifts, all of its possible nonzero values. The counting application requires that the number of shifts be recoverable from the LFSR contents so th...
