Delay analysis of neuron-MOS and capacitive threshold-logic

A model for the delay of neuron-PMOS (neu-MOS) and Capacitive Threshold-Logic (CTL) based logic circuits is presented for the first time. It is based on the analysis of the basic neuron-MOS and CTL gate structures. A closed form analytic expression for the delay of the threshold gate is derived. A relation for the delay in terms of an ordinary CMOS inverter delay expressed as a function of the number of inputs to the threshold gate is presented. This relation is shown to be useful in comparing the delay of logic circuit designs based on neu-MOS or CTL and ordinary CMOS
