Data confidence 70 medium

How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, we propose XOR based memristive edge detector circuit that is integrated into a near sensor log-linear CMOS pixel. Memristor threshold logic was used to design NAND gates, which serve as a building block for XOR gates. For validation of proposed circuit functionality hardware simulation of logic gates with a pixel pair was conducted using TSMC 0.18um technology and system-level simulation of the proposed circuit using SPICE models. The proposed method operates in low power and takes a small area on chip. The power consumption of one pixel is 1.16uW and total area 36.72 um2without photosensing component. The power consumption of NAND circuit is 1.11pW and total area 32.4um2.
