The design of balanced ternary digital logic circuits based on memristors and
conventional CMOS devices is proposed. First, balanced ternary minimum gate
TMIN, maximum gate TMAX and ternary inverters are systematically designed and
verified by simulation, and then logic circuits such as ternary encoders,
decoders and multiplexers are designed on this basis. Two different schemes are
then used to realize the design of functional combinational logic circuits such
as a balanced ternary half adder, multiplier, and numerical comparator.
Finally, we report a series of comparisons and analyses of the two design
schemes, which provide a reference for subsequent research and development of
three-valued logic circuits.Comment: 15 pages, 30 figure
