By combining NOT and OR gates, you can easily make a NAND gate, an AND gate, a NOR gate, and any other logic you can dream up. Mechanical computing is decidedly old school, but not at these scales.

A new technical paper titled “Non-Traditional Design of Dynamic Logics using FDSOI for Ultra-Efficient Computing” was published by researchers at University of Stuttgart, UC Berkeley, Indian Institute ...

Drawing from an earlier Design Idea (Reference 1) and a recent design requirement for adding pulse-generation functions to a crowded pc board, I searched Fairchild Semiconductor's Web site ...

Fig. 1 Conventional cell design Idea is to design a Dynamically controlled logic gate which can be dynamically adjusted to provide High speed with more power OR low leakage with more delay SoC ...

Here are some neat things that can be done at gate inputs, assuming they are Schmitt-trigger gates (Figure 6). Figure 6: Use Schmitt-trigger XOR, OR, or AND gates to make pulse shapers. More details ...

It's time to dig inside to understand how the internal CPU components are designed. We'll discuss transistors, logic gates, power and clock delivery, design synthesis, and verification.

Sure, we think of logic gates carrying electrons, ... According to [dAcid], the design is effectively the same either way, but the SLA printing is more precise.

Clock gate logic aware Design Closure. Our Paper describes a way to pro-actively shows the impact of clock tree building at the time of placement and optimization in the form of reduced latencies, and ...

Reversible gates, like Fredkin gates, may be useful for energy conservation efforts. Cohen et al. present a formalism that may be used to produce any reversible logic. This method is implemented ...

NAND gates are significant because any Boolean function (AND, OR, NOT, XOR, XNOR), which play a basic role in the design of computer chips, can be implemented by using a combination of NAND gates.
