Defect-tolerant demultiplexers based on threshold logic

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention include defect-tolerant demultiplexer crossbars that employ, or that can be modeled by demultiplexer crossbars that employ, threshold logic “TL” elements. The threshold-logic elements provide for tolerance for signal variation on internal signals lines of a defect-tolerant demultiplexer crossbar, and thus tolerance for defects which produce internal signal variation.
