ABSTRACT:
Various embodiments of the present invention are directed to demultiplexers that include tunneling resistor nanowire junctions, and to nanowire addressing methods for reliably addressing nanowire signal lines in nanoscale and mixed-scale demultiplexers. In one embodiment of the present invention, an encoder-demultiplexer comprises a number of input signal lines and an encoder that generates an n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address for each different input address received on the input signal lines. The encoder-demultiplexer includes n microscale signal lines on which an n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address is output by the encoder, where each microscale signal line carries one bit of the n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address. The encoder-demultiplexer also includes a number of encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines interconnected with the n microscale signal lines via tunneling resistor junctions, the encoder-demultiplexer-addressed nanowire signal lines each associated with an n-bit-constant-weight-code code-word internal address.
