New MVL-PLA Structures Based on Current-Mode CMOS Technology

چکیده
Programmable logic arrays (PLAs) are being used to implement complex multivalued logic (MVL) circuits. In this paper we introduce three new current-mode CMOS MVL-PLA structures for the implementation of MVL functions. These PLA structures use four current-mode CMOS building blocks namely, cycle, min, tsum and constants. Comparison between the introduced architectures is made based on their respective ability to realize all possible r-valued one-variable functions. Simulation results are provided to show that the third type of PLA, called type-C PLA, is superior to the other two types, called type-A PLA and type-B PLA respectively, in terms of the total number of functions realized using a given number of columns. However, this comes at the expense of an increased hardware overhead in the form of extra cyclic generator blocks added at the input of the PLA

متن کاملCurrent-mode level restoration: circuit for multi-valued logic - Electronics Letters
Introduction: The multi-valued logic (MVL) is an alternative to common binary logic. The arithmetic operations can be performed more efficiently, and faster, by increasing the radix of the system or the number of levels used, at the expense of reduced noise margin. Thus, it suffers from noise and parameter variations. Since the variations at each stage are added up, it is unavoidable to restore...

Modern VLSI application specific systems contain both digital and analog parts, where the first part usually is the specialized parallel processor, while the analog part is the preprocessing and interface unit between digital part and external world. Advances of the modern VLSI technology permit to implement such mixed systems on a single die. However, the problem of influence of a digital part...
