| Zusammenfassung: | In this part of the paper, we describe the fundamental designing principles of binary-logic circuits using a newly developed highly functional device called Neuron MOS Transistor(vMOS). vMOS is a single MOS transistor simulating the function of biological neurons. In order to facilitate the logic design procedures employing this new-concept transistor, a graphical technique which we call Floating-Gate Potential Diagram has been developed. It is shown that any Boolean functions can be generated using a common circuit configuration of two-stage vMOS inverters. One of the most striking features of vMOS binary-logic application is the realization of a so-called Soft Hardware Logic Circuit. The circuit can represent any logic functions such as AND, OR, NAND, NOR, Exclusive-NOR, Exclusive-OR, etc., by adjusting external control signals without any modifications in its hardware configuration. The circuit allows us to build real-time reconfigurable systems. Test circuits were fabricated by a double-polysilicon CMOS process and their operations were experimentally verified. |
