3 Mixed-signal design A third common trend of IC design for digital circuits is to integrate analog and digital components on the same chip, such as sensors, amplifiers, converters, and filters.

In existing CNFET-based design methodologies that are used to implement ternary logic circuits, ternary signals are first converted to binary signals, which are then passed through binary gates and an ...

The use of quaternary logic input and output signals for delivering information on and off chip could reduce the number of required package pins or increase the amount of information conveyed on a ...
