New, Compact 1.5 Tick XOR and XNOR!

[CMOSprinkles]

Hello everyone! For the last few days, I've put my mind hard at work trying to come up with a 1.5 tick XOR gate using pistons, and the result is better than I had hoped for. A 1.5 tick XNOR was also born of the attempt, so I am quite pleased! There are two separate bits that need to be alternated to stack next to each other, and without further ado, here are some specs:

Dimensions: XOR - 6L*2W*6H; XNOR - 6L*2W*6H
Speed: 1.5 Ticks
Signal Strength: XOR accepts minimum 5 signal strength in and XNOR accepts minimum 4 signal strength in. They both output at 12 signal strength in the worst case scenario.

Now, on with the pictures!

XOR:
2 wide inputs and outputs



Bit 1


Bit 2



XNOR:
2 wide inputs and outputs



Bit 1


Bit 2 - Front Side


Bit 2 - Back Side


There you have it, some pretty compact 1.5 tick gates! Sorry for the barrage of pictures, here is a world download too. Let me know what you think!

I briefly had access to a computer at my dad's house ;D

:-) and also i am leaving a chest on your plot for you. also you should look at Newegg to build you own Good PC that is fast and won't kill itself.

[CMOSprinkles]

Thank you Chibill! I'll try to get on the server today before I leave my dad's house. Also. I might be getting a new computer soon as a hand-me-down.

Also, I'm going to put these designs up on my plot along with my Instant DFF if I have time.

[Chibill]

I have not put the chest yet as it is 2:51 and i just got out of school and have homework.

[CMOSprinkles]

No problem, I'll actually have computer access for a few days, so I will be popping on the server from time to time. These gates and my Instant DFF can now be found on my plot, so check it out people!

[Chibill]

I have left the chest.

Huh, this looks similar to my first attempts at building a vertical XOR gate. The piston and repeater bit is the same, actually. Nice work at figuring it out.

[CMOSprinkles]

Thanks Thor! There were many different designs that I had to throw out before I finally settled on this one. I was very pleased actually, the original designs were around 8*2*7, so this final product is much more compact being only 6 long and 6 tall. Also, I'm currently working on an 8 bit 4 tick adder using these gates, so look forward to it!

[CMOSprinkles]

Adder is almost finished, prototype is built and it looks great! Seems to be about 15*18*6 for the whole 8 bits, I'll finish it at home today.

Oh wow! I had a 75% instant one, but yours beats the crap out of it (becouse it is not like 200 cubic meters :/ )

But yeah, our design concepts are same, I mean using pistons to block the signal, i was just not clever enough to use a repeater P:

[CMOSprinkles]

Thank you! Well, I found out that Proper has already made a pretty incredible 3.5 tick 8 bit full adder using a different 1.5 tick XNOR design that has a much easier carry to work with. I am, however, working on a smaller XOR and the one I made in this thread is already the smallest I am aware of for 1.5 ticks!
