ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to implementation and use of logic-state-storing, impedance-encoded nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches that store logic values as impedance states within nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic. In certain of these embodiments, use of nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches together with nanoscale electronic circuits that employ impedance-driven logic avoids cumulative degradation of voltage margins along a cascaded series of logic circuits and provides for temporary storage of intermediate logic values, allowing for practical interconnection of nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits through nanoscale, impedance-encoded latches to other nanowire-crossbar-implemented logic circuits in order to implement complex, nanoscale-logic-circuit pipelines, nanoscale-logic-circuit-based state machines, and other complex logic devices with various different interconnection topologies and corresponding functionalities.
