A multiplier cell is derived from a 1-bit full adder and an AND gate. The 1-bit full adder is derived from majority and/or minority gates. The majority and/or minority gates include non-linear polar material (e.g., ferroelectric or paraelectric material). A reset mechanism is provided to reset the nodes across the non-linear polar material. The multiplier cell is a hybrid of majority and/or minority gates and complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) based inverters and/or buffers. The adder uses a non-linear polar capacitor to retain charge with fewer transistors than traditional CMOS sequential circuits. The non-linear polar capacitor includes ferroelectric material, paraelectric material, or non-linear dielectric. Input signals are received by respective terminals of capacitors having non-linear polar material. The other terminals of these capacitors are coupled to a node where the majority function takes place for the inputs.
