Physical Demonstration of Polymorphic Self-Checking Circuits

Polymorphic gates can be considered as a new reconfigurable technology capable of integrating logic functions with sensing in a single compact structure. Polymorphic gates whose logic function can be controlled by the level of the power supply voltage (Vdd) represent a special class of polymorphic gates. A new polymorphic NAND/NOR gate controlled by Vdd is presented. This gate was fabricated and utilized in a self-checking polymorphic adder. This paper presents an experimental evaluation of this novel implementation.
