The Design and Application of a Minority Logic Gate-A Senior Project

As a senior laboratory project, fifteen minority logic gates were designed and built utilizing MOS field-effect transistors. The minority gates were then used as logic modules in the design of a binary comparator, a parallel binary adder, and a ternary counter. While the project did not yield an economically competitive logic gate, minority logic applications were verified, student creativity was encouraged, and a facility was developed for future laboratory projects.
