Design of Polymorphic Operators for Efficient Synthesis of Multifunctional Circuits

Peer-reviewed article not indexed in WoS or Scopus

Systematic effort dedicated to the exploration of feasible ways how to permanently come up with even more space-efficient implementation of digital circuits based on conventional CMOS technology node may soon  reach the ultimate point, which is mostly given by the constraints associated with physical scaling of fundamental electronic components.

One of the possible ways how to mitigate this problem can be recognized in deployment of multifunctional circuit elements. In addition, the polymorphic electronics paradigm, with its considerable independence on a particular technology, opens a way how to fulfil this objective through the  adoption of emerging semiconductor materials and advanced synthesis methods.  

In this paper, main attention is focused on the introduction of polymorphic operators (i.e. digital logic gates) that would allow to further increase the efficiency of multifunctional circuit synthesis   techniques. Key aspect depicting the novelty of the proposed approach is primarily based on the intrinsic exploitation of components with ambipolar conduction property. Finally, relevant models of the polymorphic operators are presented in conjunction with the experimental results.
