Abstract

Main objective of this contribution is to present a unified design flow for an
efficient implementation of polymorphic circuits. First of all, it employs an
evolutionary inspired techniques that facilitates the creation of multifunctional
circuit elements (i.e. logic gates) based on emerging materials and
nano-structures exhibiting the ambipolar behavior. Those logic gates consists of
individual transistors where the conduction mode (N- or P-channel) is controlled
by switching the power rails.

Unfortunately, conventional design methods and algorithms are not directly
applicable for a design of polymorphic circuits without the need to face major
changes. Hence the other important part of the suggested design flow is
comprising the necessary circuit synthesis technique using those multifunctional
logic gates. The presented circuit synthesis approach makes it feasible to
achieve an area-efficient results in case of complex polymorphic circuit
involving hundreds of gates. Its core is based on the utilization of Boolean
division principles and function kernelling technique.
