Implementation of NOR Logic Based on Material Implication on CMOL FPGA Architecture

Abstract

Memristor based nanocrossbar layer fabricated on CMOS layer has shown tremendous potential as high density memory and in reconfigurable logic architectures. Instead of having predesigned Configurable Logic Blocks (CLBs) and memory for reconfiguration as in FPGA, they can be instantiated in nanocrossbar memory as the need arises. We have shown in this paper, the novel design of NOR block as basic unit of computation for in-memory calculations to implement on CMOL FPGA architecture. This block implements its function using material implication. The proposed scheme is against the naturally arising boolean logic based NOR block in CMOL FPGA.
