Abstract :
Many logic circuit applications of resonant tunnelling diodes are based on the MOnostable-BIstable Logic Element (MOBILE). Cascaded MOBILE gates are operated in a pipelined fashion using a four phase overlapping clocking scheme. To improve the robustness of MOBILE networks, a simpler clock scheme is desirable. It is demonstrated that a network of MOBILE gates can be operated with a single clocked bias signal. Both schemes are compared
