Abstract :
We present a reconfigurable linear threshold element which may be used to implement the Boolean functions NOR3, CARRYmacr and NAND3. Pseudo floating-gate transistors are used in order to set the appropriate current-level for low-voltage operation and initial voltages are reset on the input in order to reconfigure the threshold element. Several of the blocks may be used to implement any Boolean function
