Abstract

A nonclassical multi-valued logic based on Post algebra is presented. Besides the conventional Post´s cyclic negation, this nonclassical logic algebra defines new operators that simplify the truth-table minimization techniques. An electronic implementation of this algebra for a 3-level logic is proposed. Electronics gates of Post negation and the new operators were designed and simulated using current mode circuits. These gates can be easily interconnected to form flip-flops, counters and other conventional digital gates in a true 3-level gate logic. ASICs with mixed analog/digital high-speed processing can benefit from this current processing ternary logic, which can be easily implemented in bipolar technology
