Abstract: A new class of multiplier cells (analog or digital) is derived from a 1-bit full adder and an AND gate. The 1-bit full adder is derived from first and second majority gates. The multiplier cell can also be implemented with a combination of two majority gates with majority and AND functions integrated in each of them. The two majority gates are coupled. Each of the first and second majority logic gates comprise a capacitor with non-linear polar material. The first and second majority gates receive the two inputs A and B that are to be multiplied. Other inputs received by the first and second majority gates are carry-in input, a sum-in input, and a bias voltage. The bias voltage is a negative voltage, which produces an integrated AND function in conjunction with a majority function. The second majority gate receives additional inputs, which are inverted output of the first majority gate.

Abstract: An adder with first and second majority gates. For a 1-bit adder, output from a 3-input majority gate is inverted and input two times to a 5-input majority gate. Other inputs to the 5-input majority gate are same as those of the 3-input majority gate. The output of the 5-input majority gate is a sum while the output of the 3-input majority gate is the carry. Multiple 1-bit adders are concatenated to form an N-bit adder. The input signals are driven to first terminals of non-ferroelectric capacitors while the second terminals are coupled to form a majority node. Majority function of the input signals occurs on this node. The majority node is then coupled to a first terminal of a non-linear polar capacitor. The second terminal of the capacitor provides the output of the logic gate. A reset mechanism initializes the non-linear polar capacitor before addition function is performed.
