متن کاملImplementation of Low Power Ternary Logic Gates using CMOS Technology
This paper describes the architecture, design & simulation of ternary logic gates. In a VLSI circuit, approximately 70 percent of the area is devoted to interconnection, 20 percent to insulation, and 10 percent to devices [1]. The binary logic is limited due to interconnect which occupies large area on a VLSI chip. In this work, the designs of ternary-valued logic circuits have been explored ov...
