Abstract :
We consider crossbar structures for nanoelectronics from a circuit design perspective. Given the large design space and the many promising nanotechnologies, we develop parameterized circuit models for quickly surveying the crossbar design space. We then present methods for implementing logic and memory in crossbars via a programmed decoder. Finally, we consider the implications of logic representation when mapping circuits to crossbars.
