Abstract :
This paper presents an extremely compact circuit topology able to implement a two-input programmable gate on the basis of multi-threshold gate concept. The circuit consists of resonant tunnelling diodes (RTDs) and heterostructure field effect transistors (HFETs). We provide detailed analysis n circuit design and simulation of such a programmable gate.
