  • Implementation of Digital Logic Gate Families Using Low Operating Flexible Organic TFT Based on Innovative Compact Modeling Approach

    The article demonstrates the brief fabrication method of the flexible organic thin film transistor (OTFT) developed earlier and its utilization for the development of various basic logic gates (NAND, NOR, AND, NOT, and OR Gates). The compact modeling of the fabricated device and the implementation of the logic gates has been carried out using Silvaco-Techmodeler and Silvaco-Gateway tools, respectively. The device can operate at -2 V supply with good electrical characteristics in terms of $-2\\mu \\mathrm{A}$ drain current, $\\mathrm{I}_{\\text{ON}}/\\mathrm{I}_{\\text{OFF}}\\sim 10^{3}$ ‘ and $\\mu_{p}\\sim 0.1\\text{cm}^{2}/\\mathrm{V}-\\sec$ respectively. The Silvaco-Gateway tool implements the logic gates with excellent characteristics, demonstrating logic swing of 1.18 V and a delay of 3.7 ns. The logic gates also possess a good transient characteristic with all four possible logic inputs (00, 01, 10, and 11). The Silvaco-Techmodeler tool models the device with an accuracy of approximately 100%, with a 0.07% and 0.08% error between the experimental and modeled data, respectively. The cost-efficiently fabricated solution-processed transistor in this article can be further utilized in the fields of medical and sensing applications.

    Memory Computing (M-C) is a rapidly growing paradigm designed to overcome the problems caused by traditional Von-Neumann architectures and is highly advantageous for big data computing applications. Leveraging Content Addressable Memory (CAM) to perform memory computing improves the latency and throughput as it can concurrently search through multiple Look-Up Tables (LUTs) containing the precomputed results. SRAM-based CAM design suggests the integration of WMC architectures with rapid search operations, enriching efficiency and performance for various ALU operations. In this work, several arithmetic and logical computations involving word lengths of 32-bit, 64-bit and 128-bit are proposed using Bit-Serial & Word-Parallel (BS-WP) and Bit-Parallel & Word-Serial (BP-WS) techniques. BS-WP can be used for performance efficient operations, while WS-BP can be used for resource efficient operations. Results indicate the maximum operational frequency goes up to 1.85 GHz for the boolean operations. BS-WP approach can obtain a speedup of 2.03 times in terms of frequency for 128-bit addition, achieving an improvement of 50.76% in performance. Also, the power consumption can be reduced upto 86% utilizing BP-WS technique.
  • DLP Based Processing-in-Memory Architecture Leveraging Content Addressable Memory

    Processing-in-Memory (PiM) is one of the rapidly growing paradigms in this world of computer architecture, wherein the data is processed and stored simultaneously within the memory. This architecture will enable us to perform big data computing that require complex data transitions between memory and ALU with reduced latency and improved throughput. This scheme utilizes the concept of Data Level Parallelism (DLP), to perform multiple operations with less number of clock cycle using a single instruction. In this paper, ALU operations such as addition, multiplication and logical operations are proposed using PiM with a single instruction by means of fixed memory locations. All the operations are implemented by the concept of Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) techniques. The addition is implemented using the Parallel Adder (PA), while multiplication operations are implemented using the karatsuba multiplier. In this work, parallel addition can be implemented with a frequency of 1.42 GHz within the memory, while parallel multiplications can be implemented at a maximum frequency of 2.31 GHz for $2 \\times 2$ bit multiplication by incorporating the karatsuba technique. These implementations consume maximum resources upto 121268 cells of $\\text{NAND}2 \\times 1$ units when inferred in the form of logic cells. Post-layout implementation resulted in an area of area of $83.25 \\ \\mu m^{2}$ for inferring a 1-bit CAM cell.
