Abstract :
This paper analyses negative differential resistance (NDR) based logic circuits operating in monostable-bistable transition logic element (MOBILE) regime. We formulate theoretical foundation for formal model of the generalised threshold gate (GTG) and prove that GTG can implement any, n-variable Boolean function. Moreover, we propose the algorithmic approach to GTG structure generation problem.
