Multi-Valued Logic Applications in the Design of Switching Circuits

In this paper we review the development & advantages of multi valued logic. The multi valued logic has been object of research over last few decades. Since 1971 there have been annual symposiums on multi valued logic. The use of non binary logic or discrete-analog signal processing is not out of the question if the multiple-valued hardware algorithms are developed for fast parallel operations. While today digital electronics is implementationaly binary, multiple-valued logic (like Ternary) has been becoming increasingly more important in hardware implementations of sophisticated algorithms. In particular, data-path & switching logic may benefit significantly from multiple-valued design, because faster & more energy-efficient arithmetic become feasible. Multiple valued logic offers important advantages like more information can be processed over given set of lines to reduce the burden of interconnections & there by switching Nevertheless the subject area of multiple-valued logic is a very necessary one to research, without it no developments to supplement the binary will occur.
