Abstract

A general method for implementing ternary circuits with binary integrated circuits is described. The conditions are given for a particular technology to be able to implement ternary circuits. For TTL, COSMOS, and ECL technologies, the necessary circuits are developed. Formulas are provided to obtain the minimum circuit according to the particular function required. Simplification rules corresponding to each technology are given. Some examples illustrate the method. Some dynamical characteristics are shown. Extensions of these results to other technologies and to n-valued circuits are possible.
