  • Abstract
    The design of a novel floating-gate CMOS ternary latch is presented. The design is based on a CMOS latch with level shifters that are realised using floating-gate techniques. The three stable operating points possessed by this circuit allow the cell to realise a ternary latch. The number of operating points possessed by the latch can be set using an external DC voltage. Measurement results from a fabricated prototype in a 0.5 m CMOS technology are included to demonstrate the design presented.
