Majority Logic Synthesis for Spin Wave Technology
Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Odysseas Zografos
Spin Wave Devices (SWDs) are promising beyond-CMOS candidates. Unlike traditional charge-based technologies, SWDs use spin as information carrier that propagates in waves. In this scenario, the logic primitive for computation is the majority gate. T ...
2014Vertically Stacked Double Gate Nanowires FETs with Controllable Polarity: From Devices to Regular ASICs
Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Shashi Kanth Bobba, Michele De Marchi
Vertically stacked nanowire FETs (NWFETs) with gate-all-around structure are the natural and most advanced extension of FinFETs. At advanced technology nodes, many devices exhibit ambipolar behavior, i.e., the device shows n- and p-type characteristics sim ...
2013MIXSyn: An Efficient Logic Synthesis Methodology for Mixed XOR-AND/OR Dominated Circuits
Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù
We present a new logic synthesis methodology, called MIXSyn, that produces area-efficient results for mixed XOR-AND/OR dominated logic functions. MIXSyn is a two step synthesis process. The first step is a hybrid logic optimization that enables selective a ...
2013BDS-MAJ: A BDD-based Logic Synthesis Tool Exploiting Majority Logic Decomposition
Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù
Despite the impressive advance of logic synthesis during the past decades, a general methodology capable of efficiently synthesizing both control and datapath logic is still missing. Indeed, while synthe- sis techniques for random control logic (AND/OR-int ...
2013Efficient Arithmetic Logic Gates Using Double-Gate Silicon Nanowire FETs, invited paper
Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Luca Gaetano Amarù
Silicon NanoWire (SiNW) based Field Effect Tran- sistors (FETs) are promising candidates to extend Moore’s law in the coming years. Recently, Double-Gate (DG) SiNWFETs have been demonstrated to allow on-line configurability of n -type and p -type device po ...
2013Polarity Control in Double-Gate, Gate-All-Around Vertically Stacked Silicon Nanowire FETs
Giovanni De Micheli, Davide Sacchetto, Yusuf Leblebici, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Jian Zhang, Michele De Marchi
We fabricated and characterized ambipolar Silicon Nanowire (SiNW) FET transistors featuring two independent Gate-All-Around (GAA) electrodes and vertically stacked SiNW channels. One of the gate electrodes is exploited to dynamically select the polarity of ...
2012Pre-Synthesis Optimization of Arithmetic Circuits
The efficient synthesis of circuits is a well-studied problem. Due to the NP-hardness of the problem, no optimal algorithm has been presented so far. However, the heuristics presented by several researchers in the past, which are also adopted by commercial ...
EPFL2010Power Consumption of Logic Circuits in Ambipolar Carbon Nanotube Technology
Giovanni De Micheli, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa
Ambipolar devices have been reported in many technologies, including carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs). The ambipolarity can be in-field controlled with a second gate, enabling the design of generalized logic gates with a high expressive p ...
2010Methodology for the Digital Calibration of Analog Circuits and Systems Using Sub-binary Radix DACs
This paper presents a methodology for digitally calibrating analog circuits and systems. Based on the detection of an imperfection by a simple comparator, a successive approximations algorithm tunes a compensation current. The latter is generated by a sub- ...
2010Novel Library of Logic Gates with Ambipolar CNTFETs: Opportunities for Multi-Level Logic Synthesis
Giovanni De Micheli, Mohamed Haykel Ben Jamaa
This paper exploits the unique in-field controllability of the device polarity of ambipolar carbon nanotube field effect transistors (CNTFETs) to design a technology library with higher expressive power than conventional CMOS libraries. Based on generalized ...
