Polymorphic digital circuits are circuits composed of polymorphic
(multifunctional) as well as ordinary 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 a new
REconfigurable POlymorphic MOdule (REPOMO). REPOMO is a four-input/output module
consisting of polymorphic and standard gates whose interconnection is
reconfigurable. It integrates logic as well as sensing function via polymorphic
gates. REPOMO is intended to serve as a building block for the development of new
complex polymorphic circuits and for evaluation of polymorphic circuits in real
environments. As no conventional methods are available for the design of
polymorphic circuits, initial experiments with the evolutionary design of
polymorphic circuits are reported in this paper.
