Over the last decade, memristive devices have been widely adopted in computing for various conventional and unconventional applications. While the integration density, memory property, and nonlinear characteristics have many benefits, reducing the energy consumption is limited by the resistive nature of the devices. Memcapacitors would address that limitation while still having all the benefits of memristors. Recent work has shown that with adjusted parameters during the fabrication process, a metal-oxide device can indeed exhibit a memcapacitive behavior. We introduce novel memcapacitive logic gates and memcapacitive crossbar classifiers as a proof of concept that such applications can outperform memristor-based architectures. The …

We address the problem of test set generation and test set reduction, to first detect, and later localize faults occurring in reversible circuits. Reversible Computation has high promise of low power consumption. Some new fault models are first presented here. An explanation of the new fault models is made based on a physical realization representing the state of the art in the reversible CMOS circuit technology. Evidence is then presented showing that the fault models presented in the current literature are not adequate for existing realizations of reversible logic such as CMOS. We designed a ATPG software package with a …
