Abstract

This paper analyses the general properties of Current Mode Multiple Valued Logic (CMMVL) circuits, and presents a framework for further exploitation. A unified circuit view is proposed in which circuits are described in terms of CMMVL to voltage mode binary decoders, and binary to CMMVL encoders. The relative merits of various encodings are explored for a single digit multiplier. It is shown that CMMVL has an inherent advantage in the VLSI layout of fan-in dominated subsystems such as Wallace trees. The construction of CMMVL circuit cells for general logic is discussed
