This work tried to highlight the potential of memristor in binary and multilevel digital circuits. This book focuses on the ternary and redundant circuits where the concept could be generalized for any multilevel circuits. Ternary half adder circuit was the first circuit to be investigated to address the concept of multilevel circuit based on the memristor. A complete case study for redundant half adder, full adder and N-bit adder circuit based on the memristor analyzed to build an adder that has speed independent on the operand showing the potential of this element in arithmetic circuit.

This book includes two testing methodologies based on Built In Sensors (BIS) and an optimization-based technique. The first part proposes two novel built-in sensors (BISs) for digital CMOS and analog circuits testing. The BISs have no voltage degradation, able to detect, identify and localize open and short circuit faults,have simple realizations with very small area and detection time. BIS is used to test a 4x4 multiplier cell where all injected faults are detected and localized. The other BIS is dedicated to test analog circuits. It is applied to test two well-known analog building blocks;...

In this book, we focus on investigating the effect of imposing fractional-order time derivatives on the conventional Maxwell's equations that control the behavior of electromagnetic fields. We apply the modified formulas of Maxwell's equations on an example of a rectangular waveguide showing that imposing the fractional parameters such as the cutoff frequency and the intrinsic impedance which is shown to be complex in value. The concept of the fractional curl operator introduced a few years ago provides additional intermediate solutions to an electromagnetic problem rather than the canonical...
