The Majority Logic Gate (MLG) has already been used to improve the reliability of memories. As to the issue of high overheads for Majority Logic Gate
a novel MLG circuitry based on Sorting Networks is proposed. An 8-input MLG example
realized in Verilog HDL and simulated by ModelSim
has been shown to explain the structure
which includes two 4-input sorting network
four and-gates and an or-gate.Compared with the traditional MLG circuitry
the proposed circuitry can reduce 45.11% area
60.43% power
and 35.44% delay overheads respectively. The obtained results have shown that the proposed circuitry can achieve Majority Logic function rightly.
