Instead of performing logic functions, though, these switches move, convert and transform power.
Introducing different triggers into such systems creates molecular assemblies capable of performing logic gate operations and/or catalytic activity control.
We present a ratchet effect which provides a general means of performing clocked logic operations on discrete particles, such as single flux quanta or electrons.
In this work we demonstrate torsion based complementary MEMS logic device, which is capable, of performing INVERTER, AND, NAND, NOR, and OR gates using one physical structure within an operating range of 0 10 V.
This trend is represented today by the microprocessor, a miniature multicircuited device capable of performing all the logic and arithmetic functions of a large digital computer.
The chapter also identifies the PLDs that are capable of performing both combinational and sequential logic functions; however, it limits the exemplar applications to combinational logic design.
The internal DAC is made of binary-scaled capacitors, whose bottom plates are switched by the SAR logic to perform the binary search of the analog input value by means of the monotonic switching scheme.
