Abstract :
The main drawback of Capacitive Threshold Logic (CTL) gates relates to the threshold valid programming. Because each gate may require a different reference voltage to set its threshold it is practically impossible to use this approach to build circuits with more than a couple of gates. In this paper we propose a new scheme, the Capacitor Programmable CTL (CP-CTL), which alleviate the CTL gate programming issue. The CP-CTL implementation of a 32-bit adder as also presented
