Abstract :
This paper discusses a self-restored architecture for current-mode CMOS multiple-valued logic (MVL) design. The self-restored architecture is characterized by using both current-mode MVL circuits and voltage-mode binary circuits to implement MVL functions and to restore output signals simultaneously. Binary gates are used within the design architecture so that MVL-binary or binary-MVL conversion circuits are not required to interface with binary circuits. The average size of the resulting circuits is smaller than those using standard MVL operators
