MAJORITY MODULE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC G06F7/38 H03K19/23 

FIELD: computer engineering, possible use for building automatic devices, functional units of control systems, etc.

SUBSTANCE: majority module contains three groups of majority elements, having three inputs each. In each group, output of previous majority element is connected to second input of next majority element, while first and second groups contain m-1 majority elements each, where m=0,5(n+1), n≠1 is any odd positive integer. Introduced to majority module are 2AND elements, which are grouped in N groups so that i group contains m-1 2AND elements. In i group output of previous element 2AND is connected to first input of next element 2AND, outputs of (m-1) majority elements of first, second groups and outputs of (m-1) elements of 2AND first - N groups are connected respectively to second, third inputs of the first and to third inputs of the second - (N+1) majority elements of third group. First inputs of all majority elements of third group are combined, constituting second calibrating input of majority module, output and first calibrating input of which are formed respectively by output (N+1) of majority element of third group and combined first inputs of all majority elements of first and second groups, while .

EFFECT: simplification of device.
