A new latch-based threshold logic family

This paper presents a new low-power threshold logic family with self lock-out property. The simulated results have shown that, the proposed threshold logic dissipates between 10% and 79% less power and between 57% and 71% less energy, at V/sub DD/=5 V, when compared with previous similar threshold logic families. Moreover, at V/sub DD/=3.3 V, it has between 12% and 48% less energy and between 34% and 60% less dissipated power in the worst case.
