By analyzing the working characteristics of binary Schmitt circuits we find their sequential characteristics, which makes us follow the method of sequential circuits to design Schmitt circuits. The sequential design technique is extended to the study of ternary Schmitt circuits in this paper. The designed ternary Schmitt trigger has a similar structure with a ternary flip-flop. PSPICE simulatio...

A set of CAD tools for the synthesis and layout generation of multiple-valued current-mode CMOS logic (CMCL) circuits is described. The synthesis method is based upon the cost-table method. The general circuit structure, the cost-table functions and the decomposition procedure used in the cost-table synthesis program are explained. The synthesis program is based upon a logically complete set of...

Logical systems with classical negation and means for sentential or propositional self-reference involve, in some way, paradoxical statements such as the liar. However, the paradox disappears if one replaces classical by an appropriate non-classical negation such as a paraconsistent one (no paradox arises if the liar is both true and false). We consider a non-Fregean logic which is a revised an...

Internet practices of older adults are multifaceted and go beyond a “use” “non-use” binary. In this article, we suggest valuation approach towards in later life that explores not as or “non-use,” but rather asks which forms valued life, ones de-valued. For valuog­raphy, draw upon different data sources, including interviews with adults, to explore the multiple “goods” “bads” through use gets va...

This paper presents a fine-grain bit-serial reconfigurable VLSI architecture using multiple-valued switch blocks and binary logic modules. Multiple-valued signaling is utilized to implement a compact switch block. A binary-controlled current-steering technique is introduced, utilizing a programmable three-level differential-pair circuit to implement a high-performance low-power arbitrary two-va...
