METHOD AND COMPONENTS FOR SIMULTANEOUS PROCESSING OF MULTIPLE FUNCTIONS

摘要

A methodology for describing an input-output behavior of a multi-level logic gate to process simultaneously a multiplicity of independent Boolean logic functions, with each Boolean function processing signals carried on an individual, separate channel. An embodiment may simultaneously process the same data with the same function or with different functions, multiple data with the same function, or multiple data with different functions. In addition, multi-level logic signals (having more than two levels) may be processed, so that a higher communication bandwidth may be obtained without necessarily increasing the number of traces (wires). Other embodiments are described and claimed.
