Again, the expressioncircuits are operated concurrently although only one computation result is routed to the output.3.8 Template for register In VHDL, memory elements can be inferred in various mechanisms and can be easily“embedded” in code. To enforce good design practice, our approach is to separate the memoryelements from the remaining circuit and describe them in explicit code segments. We use aprocess template, which is treated as a black box, to explicitly specify the desired D FFs orregisters. The VHDL code segment is : PROCESS(clk) BEGIN IF (clk'EVENT AND clk='1') THEN q <= d; END IF; END PROCESS

However, it is now well known that the conductance fornano-scale ballistic conductors is quantized in multiples of q2/h ≈ 1/(25kΩ)1, where q is theelectron charge (1.6 × 10 C) and h is Planck’s Constant (6.63 × 10 J-sec).
