Description
Summary:The Nanomagnetic Logic (NML) is a promising new technology that can build low-power devices at room temperature. Furthermore, this technology allows mixing logic and memory on the same device. The creation of Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools and flows is an essential step towards developing NML for integrated designs. There is plenty of room for creating new EDA methodologies for this kind of emerging nanotechnologies since the scarce number of works in this field. Standard cells is an important step in this context since they strongly relate to the routing and placement algorithms. This work presents NMLib, an NML cell library developed for the NMLSim 2.0 simulator. In contrast to CMOS, the NML features require logic cells and interconnection cells, since all circuit is developed using the same building block. Moreover, we present a full-adder, and a ripple carry adder circuit designs using NMLib to demonstrate NMLib feasibility.
