Design methodologies for compact logic circuits based on collision-based computing

Abstract

A method of designing compact multiple-input combinational logic circuits is proposed. We show that i) fundamental logic gates can be constructed by a small number of collision-based fusion gates, ii) multiple-input logic gates are constructed in a systematic manner, iii) the number of transistors in specific logic gates constructed by the proposed method is significantly smaller than that of conventional logic gates. © IEICE 2006.
