Abstract :
The cost effectiveness of using an overflow circuit for truncated difference operation and a metal line for charge replication in the charge-coupled device (CCD) realization of multivalue multithreshold (MVMT) functions is considered. It is shown that the use of these two circuits leads to improved realizations compared to those achieved by previous approaches
