Symmetric Ternary Logic and Its Systematic Logic Composition Methodology
Ternary logic is expected to increase the area efficiency of VLSI due to its expressiveness compared to the traditional binary logic. This paper proposes a new symmetric ternary logic and a systematic logic composition methodology that enables us to design any ternary logic circuits. The methodology is demonstrated by implementing the ternary inverters, ternary NAND, ternary NOR, and ternary half-adder operators with the proposed symmetric ternary operators.
