Abstract EN
Novel designs of current-mode Ternary minimum (AND) and maximum (OR) are proposed in this paper based on Carbon NanoTube Field Effect Transistors (CNTFET).
First, these Ternary operators are designed separately.
Then, they are combined together in order to generate both outputs concurrently in an integrated design.
This integration results in the elimination of common parts when both functions are required at the same time.
The third proposed current-mode integrated circuit generates both ternary operators with the usage of only 30 transistors.
The new designs are composed of three main parts: (1) the part which converts current to voltage; (2) threshold detectors; and (3) the parallel paths through which the output current flows.
Unlike the previously presented structure, there is no need for any constant current source within the new designs.
This elimination leads to less static power dissipation.
The second proposed current-mode segregated Ternary minimum operates 43% faster and consumes 40% less power in comparison with a previously presented structure.
