Pulsed based arithmetic units

Abstract

Various examples of devices, methods and systems related to pulse based arithmetic units. In one example, a pulse domain device includes an augend area calculator to provide an augend area output for an augend pulse train; an addend area calculator to provide an addend area output for an addend pulse train; a resultant sum area (RSA) decoder to provide a RSA output using the augend and addend area outputs; and a pulse timing calculator to provide RSA output pulse timing. In another example, a pulse domain device includes a multiplicand area calculator to provide an multiplicand area output for a multiplicand pulse train; a multiplier area calculator to provide a multiplier area output for a multiplier pulse train; a resultant product area (RPA) decoder to provide a RPA output using the multiplicand and multiplier area outputs; and a pulse timing calculator to provide RPA output pulse timing.
