A Programmable Majority Logic Array Using Molecular Scale Electronics

Abstract: In recent years, many advances have been made in the development of molecular scale electronics which have inspired interest in using the devices thereof for memory and logic. This paper describes the design of a logic architecture using a particular class of molecular devices. Specifically, it is shown that the feature of hysteretic switching common to many molecular devices can be utilized to build programmable arrays. Also utilized in the designs presented here are molecular devices which exhibit negative d… Show more

“…However, the proposed FPGA architecture might have several distinct advantages: First, it is a technology aspect. Various FPGA concepts [18][19][20][21][22] based on complex functionality of crosspoint devices, e.g., on negative differential resistance, programmable nanowire field effect transistors, and/or relying on several types of complex nanoscale devices, such as in schemes with stochastic nano/micro interfaces might be too immature for near term introduction of such circuits. Similar argument applies to FPGAs based on carbon nanotubes [23][24][25][26].…”

“…Although hysteresis curves have different shapes, many molecular switching devices have an I-V characteristic such as that presented in Figure 4 (Rose and Stan, 2007). This curve illustrates that, in general, molecular electronic I/V curves have hysteresis in the first and third quadrant.…”

“…Several approaches for memristor-based logic have been proposed, e.g., [6] and [7], which suggest using memristors as configurable switches as in an FPGA. The logic gates are designed as CMOS gates or as programmable majority logic array (PMLA) based on Goto pairs as logic gates [8].…”
