We propose a mapping from digital logic circuits into genetic regulatory networks with the following property: the chemical activity of such a genetic network in vivo implements the computation specified by the corresponding digital circuit. Logic signals are represented by the synthesis rates

This special session adresses the problems that designers face when implementing analog and digital circuits in nanometer technologies. An introductory embedded tutorial will give an overview of the design problems at hand: the leakage power and process variability and their implications

Abstract- In the world of Digital Systems, the demand for high quality, more efficient and less area circuits have been increasing over the years. Because of this the problem of circuit design has become a multi-objective optimization problem. Therefore, there is a need for new methodologies

digital circuits for a well-known NP-Complete problem: the knapsack (subset sum) problem. Numerical experiments show that Multi Expression Programming performs well on the considered test problems.

The increasing use of mixed signal circuits with analog and digital circuitry on the same lchip have created a set of demands that traditional circuit simuiators cannot meet very well. We pmsent techniques to efficiently handle the simulation of mixed signal analog/digital circuits, ad SYM-PHONY, a

. In this papers a new high speed and low power adder is presented. The circuit uses a hybrid concept of analog and digital circuit design to propagate the carry and so achieve a Full Adder with 108 ps delay and 10.12μw of power consumption. Results and simulations demonstrate that the proposed design leads

Abstract: Pre-designed cells, such as buffers, adders and flip-flops are provided by foundries and used in digital circuit design. Actual cell implementation at transistor level is not considered during the synthesis of a digital circuit. The paper describes four cases of transistor-level cell

This tutorial surveys the state of the art in high-level synthesis of digital circuits. It will be published in Advances in Computers, Volume 35, edited by M. Yovits.

Motivated by emerging battery-operated applications that demand intensive computation in portable environments, techniques are investigated which reduce power consumption in CMOS digital circuits while maintaining computational throughput. Techniques for low-power operation are shown which use
