Abstract

Multifunctional digital circuits are circuits composed of polymorphic
(multifunctional) gates. In addition to its standard logic function (such as
NAND), a polymorphic gate exhibits another logic function (such as NOR) which is
activated under a specific condition, for example, when Vdd, temperature or
illumination reaches a certain level. This paper describes the evolutionary
design of multifunctional combinational circuits at the gate level using
a circuit simulator and in a field programmable gate array (FPGA). The FPGA-based
implementation exhibits a significant speedup against a highly optimized software
simulator.
