It’s a surprise then to find that a working CPU can be made with just a single NOR gate — which is what is ... so this one is rather special even if it’s not the first 1-bit ALU we’ve ...

As an example, let’s consider the AND gate (the others are OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR). Electronic gates operate on two nominal voltages, normally 0 V and 5 V, representing the logic 0 ...

The proposed NOR gate has been designed while keeping in view the minimum ... At some places, input signals can be used in place of supply and ground nodes so that any path formed are not between the ...
