Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
In this work, unique characteristics of carbon nano-tube field effect transistor (CNTFET) are used to propose a universal cell with a simple architecture based on the binary modified gate-diffusion input (m-GDI) method for designing fundamental gates in the voltage-mode multiple-valued logic (MVL) with any arbitrary number of logic levels for processing at nano-scales. The results of the simulations confirm more energy-efficiency, larger noise margins and lower sensitivity of the proposed designs in different logic levels as compared with the state-of-the-art designs. The effects of the process, voltage and temperature (PVT) variations are extensively evaluated by Monte-Carlo simulation. According to the results, the proposed designs are robust against PVT variations and noise. The proposed structure is applied to the MVL-based image processing. The results show that the output images of the proposed MVL-based inexact gates have an appropriate quality in compare with the images generated by the other similar exact gates.
