Exploiting the controlled responses of chaotic elements to design configurable hardware.
We discuss how threshold mechanisms can be effectively employed to control chaotic systems onto stable fixed points and limit cycles of widely varying periodicities. Then, we outline the theory and experimental realization of fundamental logic-gates from a chaotic system, using thresholding to effect control. A key feature of this implementation is that a single chaotic 'processor' can be flexibly configured (and re-configured) to emulate different fixed or dynamic logic gates through the simple manipulation of a threshold level.
