Abstract

“As the conventional binary MOS-based VLSI technology is reaching limitations in chip area, speed, and power, new technologies are being researched. Some such technologies relate to multi-level logic design. This thesis explores the process and benefits of applying and optimizing multi-level design techniques to an existing Gray code binary system. Specifically, the multi-level system is designed using CoreMem technology and is optimized using Indira Dugganapally’s optimization techniques.

The first step is generating the n-bit binary and quaternary truth tables for an encoder’s Gray code output and additional desired data. Then, the data for each n-bit system is arranged in multi-level CoreMem arrays. Finally, each multi-level system is optimized, and the optimized systems are compared to the unoptimized ones in terms of transistor count. The comparison of the optimized and unoptimized systems shows a significant reduction in area that increases exponentially with system complexity”--Abstract, page iii.
