ABSTRACT:
A circuit element includes a plurality of computation blocks connected at least partially in series for processing multi-bit numbers. Each of the computation blocks includes a plurality of transistors having characteristic threshold voltages. The circuit element is configured so that the transistors will each operate at a voltage below its threshold voltage. The circuit element includes a plurality of circuit sub-elements each having an output. The circuit sub-element outputs are connected together.
