The proposed research targets the investigation of techniques that enable using Threshold Logic (TL) circuits to implement Systems on a Chip (SoC) devices for embedded systems. The project proposes to take a unified approach to simultaneously address TL circuit synthesis and TL gate design. The work also plans to investigate TL based on nanodevices and the extension of TL to mixed signal circuits such as Analog to Digital Converters (ADCs). This work also represents the first collaborative project between these two sites of the center.The outcomes of the proposed work have the potential to help the semiconductor industry produce more reliable and affordable microprocessors and SoC implementations. The work is supported by the Industry Advisory Board as well as individual industry members of the center and has the potential to extend the centers portfolio through collaboration of two of its sites. The PIs research will impact diverse undergraduate and graduate students as well as be used as a tool to recruit students to the field.

提出的研究目标是研究能够使用阈值逻辑（TL）电路实现嵌入式系统的片上系统（SoC）设备的技术。该项目提出采用统一的方法同时解决TL电路合成和TL栅极设计。该工作还计划研究基于纳米器件的TL和将TL扩展到混合信号电路，如模数转换器（adc）。这项工作也代表了中心两个地点之间的第一个合作项目。所提出的工作成果有可能帮助半导体行业生产更可靠、更实惠的微处理器和SoC实现。这项工作得到了行业咨询委员会以及该中心的个别行业成员的支持，并有可能通过其两个站点的合作扩展该中心的产品组合。pi的研究将影响不同的本科生和研究生，并被用作招收学生到该领域的工具。
