Content Introduction Abstract: This paper proposes a programmable logic element (PLE) based on Sense-Switch type pFLASH technology. By programming the Sense-Switch type pFLASH, all three-input lookup table (LUT3) functions, some LUT4 functions, latch functions, and D flip-flop (DFF) functions with enable and reset capabilities are realized. Because the PLE uses a method called Combinational Operation … Read more
This article is excerpted from “2022 Research Framework for Domestic Server CPUs“. In the post-Moore’s Law era, the performance benefits brought by the improvement of process technology are already very limited. The Dennard Scaling law constraints have led to a sharp increase in chip power consumption, and the cost of transistors has risen instead of … Read more
