Asynchronous Digital Logic Circuits Using Neuristors

Abstract

The neuristor is an active device which acts as a one-dimensional channel along which a pulse may propagate at a constant velocity. Neuristors can be joined in two basic junction types: T and S junctions. A T-S junction is a combination of the two basic junction types. Using these three junction types, "and", "or" and "not" circuits can be constructed. These basic circuits can be combined with a variable "tree" to construct any arbitrary combinational circuit. The neuristor has "built-in" delay. Sequential circuits can be analysed as delay devices and reduced to combinational circuits, which can be constructed using neuristors.
