I/UCRC: Collaborative Research: Synthesis and Design of Robust Threshold Logic Circuits

拟议的研究目标的调查技术，使使用阈值逻辑（TL）电路实现系统芯片（SoC）的嵌入式系统设备。 该项目建议采取统一的方法，同时解决TL电路综合和TL门设计。 这项工作还计划研究基于纳米器件的TL，以及TL向模数转换器（ADC）等混合信号电路的扩展。这项工作也是该中心这两个地点之间的第一个合作项目。拟议工作的成果有可能帮助半导体行业生产更可靠和负担得起的微处理器和SoC实现。这项工作得到了行业咨询委员会以及该中心的各个行业成员的支持，并有可能通过其两个站点的合作来扩展该中心的产品组合。PI研究将影响不同的本科生和研究生，并被用作招募学生到该领域的工具。

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.
