In this letter a new technique is introduced for implementing the basic logic functions using analog current-mode techniques. By expanding the logic functions in power series expressions, and using summers and multipliers, realization of the basic logic functions is simplified. Since no transistors are working in saturation, the problem of fan-out is alleviated. To illustrate the proposed technique, a circuit for simultaneous realization of the logic functions NOT, OR, NAND and XOR is considered. SPICE simulation results, obtained with 3 V supply, are included

A memristor is a nanoscale electronic element that displays a threshold property, non-volatility, and variable conductivity. Its composite circuits are promising for the implementation of intelligence computation, especially for logic operations. In this paper, a flexible logic circuit composed of a spintronic memristor and complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) switches is proposed for the implementation of the basic unbalanced ternary logic gates, including the NAND, NOR, AND, and OR gates. Meanwhile, due to the participation of the memristor and CMOS, the proposed circuit has advantages in terms of non-volatility and load capacity. Furthermore, the input and output of the proposed logic are both constant voltages without signal degradation. All these three merits make the proposed circuit capable of realizing the cascaded logic functions. In order to demonstrate the validity and effectiveness of the entire work, series circuit simulations were carried out. The experimental results indicated that the proposed logic circuit has the potential to realize almost all basic ternary logic gates, and even some more complicated cascaded logic functions with a compact circuit construction, high efficiency, and good robustness.

Abstract Due to the increasing demand for smarter solutions and embedded systems, MEMS resonator-based computing devices have been under considerable attention for their simplicity and prospect of low computational power. However, most complex logic functions require multi-input/output lines that are cascadable such that the outputs of one device can be used as inputs into subsequent devices for practical applications, and this is a current limitation for MEMS logic devices. In this study, we demonstrate multi-inputs/outputs half-adder function, AND, and XOR logic gates on the basis of activating and deactivating the localization and delocalization of the multi vibrational modes of a single MEMS resonator with improved energy efficiency.

Multifunctional logic gate devices consisting of a nanodot array are studied from the viewpoint of single electronics. In a nanodot array, the dots come in a random variety of sizes, which sometimes has a negative effect on the performance of electrical device applications. Here, this feature is used in a positive sense to achieve higher functionality in the form of flexible logic gates with low power consumption in which the variability of logic functions is guaranteed. Nanodot arrays with two input gates and one control gate in a variety of arrangements are considered, in which the two-input logic functions (such as NAND, NOR, or exclusive-OR (XOR) gates) are selected by changing the voltage applied to the control gate. To ensure the flexibility of the device, it is important to guarantee the performance with any one of the six important logic functions: NAND, AND, NOR, OR, XOR, and XNOR. We ran a selection simulation using a nanodot array consisting of six nanodots with different dot arrangements to clarify the relation between the variability of the logic functions and the dot arrangements.

This paper introduces a new scheme to achieve a dynamic logic gate which can be adjusted flexibly to obtain different logic functions by adjusting specific parameters of a dynamical system. Based on graphical tools and the threshold mechanism, the distribution of different logic gates is studied, and a transformation method between different logics is given. Analyzing the performance of the dynamical system in the presence of noise, we discover that it is resistant to system noise. Moreover, we find some part of the system can be considered as a leaky integrator which has been already widely applied in engineering. Finally, we provide a proof-of-principle hardware implementation of the proposed scheme to illustrate its effectiveness. With the proposed scheme in hand, it is convenient to build the flexible, robust, and general purpose computing devices such as various network coding routers, communication encoders or decoders, and reconfigurable computer chips.

Logic circuits operating in living cells are generally built by mimicking electronic layouts, and scale-up is accomplished using additional layers of elementary logic gates like NOT and NOR gates. Recombinase-based logic, in which logic is implemented using DNA inversion or excision, allows for highly efficient, compact and single-layer design architectures. However, recombinase logic architectures depart from electronic design principles, and gate design performed empirically is challenging for an increasing number of inputs. Here we used a combinatorial approach to explore the design space of recombinase logic devices. We generated combinations and permutations of recombination sites, genes, and regulatory elements, for a total of ~19 million designs supporting the implementation of all 2- and 3-input logic functions and up to 92% of 4-input logic functions. We estimated the influence of different design constraints on the number of executable functions, and found that the use of DNA inversion and transcriptional terminators were key factors to implement the vast majority of logic functions. We provide a user-friendly interface, called RECOMBINATOR (http://recombinator.lirmm.fr/index.php), that enable users to navigate the design space of recombinase-based logic, find architectures implementing a specific logic function and sort them according to various biological criteria. Finally, we define a set of 16 architectures from which all 256 3-input logic functions can be derived. This work provides a theoretical foundation for the systematic exploration and design of single-layer recombinase logic devices.
