We introduce the class of hysteretic linear-threshold (HLT) logic functions as a novel extension of linear threshold logic, and prove their general applicability for constructing state-holding Boolean functions. We then demonstrate a fusion of HLT logic with the quasi-delay insensitive style of asynchronous circuit design, complete with logical design examples. Future research directions are al...

The main result of this paper is the development of a low depth cany lookahead addition technique based on threshold logic. Two such adders are designed using the recently proposed charge recycling threshold logic gate. The adders are shown to have a very low logic depth, and significantly reduced area and power dissipation compared to other dynamic CMOS implementations.

The very high density of integration and ultra-low power consumption characteristics has given the Single electron devices promising capabilities to replace CMOS transistors in some applications. There are also alternative logic design styles, such as threshold logic, that may be more suitable and also more powerful for novel technologies such as single electron technology. In this paper, we in...
