A majority-logic device using an irreversible single-electron box

Abstract: We describe a majority-logic gate device suitable for use in developing single-electron integrated circuits. The device consists of a capacitor array for input summation and an irreversible single-electron box for threshold operation. It accepts three binary inputs and produces a corresponding output, a complementary majority-logic output, by using the change in its tunneling threshold caused by the input signals; it produces a logical 1 output if two or three of the inputs are logical 0 and a logical 0 output… Show more

“…For example, the full adder may be constructed with three majority gates and two inverters (3 magnetoelectric cells and 2 modulators). In contrast, a Boolean-based implementation requires a larger circuit with seven or eight gate elements (about 25-30 MOSFETs) [79]. The main reason Majority logic has been out of stage for decades is because its CMOS realization is ineffi cient.…”

“…The basic building block of every QCA circuit is majority gate and every QCA circuit can be built using Majority and inverter gate [3].The majority logic can be implemented in a different manner from that of Boolean logic. The Boolean logic operators (like AND, OR and their complements) and other digital functions can be implemented using Majority logic [4]. The majority logic can be termed as more powerful for implementing digital functions because of very small number of logic gates [5,6].…”
