Abstract :
Virtually all practical computers in existence today use bistable switching devices to perform logical functions. However, with the advancing state-of-the-art, switching devices possessing three stable states may soon be feasible for which the speed, cost and reliability approach those of bistable devices. In anticipation of such a possibility, it seems worthwhile to determine the output functions which it would be most desirable for these ternary devices to have. The tabulations presented in this note may assist in accomplishing this.
