Application of multioutput threshold-logic gates to digital-network design

Recent work in the areas of combinatorial logic-design theory and logic-gate circuits is leading to new concepts of logic-network realisation. In the paper, the multioutput threshold-logic gate is considered as a powerful configuration for future use both in s.s.i. package form and also for internal m.s.i./l.s.i. subsystem use. Design techniques to always fully utilise its logic power, particularly for multifunction applications, are, however, still awaited, although techniques which may be applied for simple networks are discussed, together with the possible line of further research in this area of increasing significance.
