    摘要: One embodiment of the present invention is an array of nanoscale latches interconnected by a nanowire bus to form a latch array. Each nanoscale latch in the nanoscale-latch array serves as a nanoscale register, and is driven by a nanoscale control line. Primitive operations for the latch array can be defined as sequences of one or more inputs to one or more of the nanowire data bus and nanoscale control lines. In various latch-array embodiments of the present invention, information can be transferred from one nanoscale latch to another nanoscale latch in a controlled fashion, and sequences of information-transfer operations can be devised to implement arbitrary Boolean logic operations and operators, including NOT, AND, OR, XOR, NOR, NAND, and other such Boolean logic operators and operations, as well as input and output functions. Nanoscale-latch arrays can be combined and interconnected in an almost limitless number of different ways to construct arbitrarily complex, sequential, parallel, or both parallel and sequential computing engines that represent additional embodiments of the present invention.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementation and use of logic-state-storing, impedance-encoded nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches that store logic values as impedance states within nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic. In certain of these embodiments, use of nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches together with nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic avoids cumulative degradation of voltage margins along a cascaded series of logic circuits and provides for temporary storage of intermediate logic values, allowing for practical interconnection of nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits through nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches to other nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits in order to implement complex, nanoscale-logic-circuit pipelines, nanoscale-logic-circuit-based state machines, and other complex logic devices with various different interconnection topologies and corresponding functionalities.

    摘要: Methods for inputting a data-value pattern into a nanowire crossbar, for inputting a data-value pattern into a nanowire crossbar that support computer instructions stored in a computer-readable medium, and for distributing a received data value to each of a set of nanowires that support control logic implemented in logic circuits are provided. First and second nanoscale shift registers are employed, the first having output signal lines that form or interconnect with a first parallel set of nanowire-crossbar nanowires and the second having output signal lines that form or interconnect with a second parallel set of nanowire-crossbar nanowires. A first pattern of values is stored in the first shift register and a second pattern of values is stored in the second shift register using voltage signals below the WRITE voltage for junctions of the crossbar. Voltage signals greater than or equal to the WRITE threshold are applied for junctions of the crossbar to write the pattern of data values into the crossbar.

    摘要: In one embodiment of the present invention, a nanoscale latch is implemented by interconnecting an enable line, two control lines, and a pull-down line, when needed, to a signal line carrying encoded binary values to be latched and subsequently output. The enable line is interconnected with the signal line through a field-effect-transistor-like nanoscale junction. Both control lines are interconnected with the signal line through asymmetric-switch nanoscale junctions of like polarities. The pull-down line, when needed, is interconnected with the signal line through a resistive nanoscale junction. Inputting a sequence of signals to the enable and control lines allows a value input from the signal line to be stored and subsequently output to the signal line. In various additional embodiments, an array of nanoscale latches can be implemented by overlaying enable and control lines, and a pull-down line when needed, over a set of parallel nanowires.
