Design of Bi-directional Switching Circuit to Generate Odd Parity Bits for Decimal Numbers Expressed in BCD Code Using Single Electron Device Based Threshold Logic Gates

Single electronics, an incipient arena of swiftly rising interest has received noteworthy attention equally in academia and industry in regard to applications in modern and future electronics. Single electronics practices the -transfer of single electron phenomena- or more conveniently the -electron charge transport- to characterize binary data values. The intrinsic gain of the single electron devices lies in the fact that it requires considerably less amount of power than any orthodox technologies while functioning at much greater speed. We first propose the implementation of a novel switching circuit to generate odd parity bits for decimal numbers expressed in BCD code. Then after the threshold logic realization concept has been incorporated in the design spec. The unit device consists of twenty tunnel junctions and operates as an IC that can switch with every frequent single electron transport. The proposed model is a simple schematic using -SIMON-, it is a single electron circuit simulator based on a Monte Carlo technique.
