Design of ternary current-mode CMOS circuits based on switch-signal theory

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

By applying switch-signal theory, the interaction between MOS transmission switching transistor and current signal in current-mode CMOS circuits is analyzed, and the theory of transmission current-switches which is suitable to current-mode CMOS circuits is proposed. The circuits, such as ternary full-adder etc., designed by using this theory have simpler circuit structures and correct logic functions. It is confirmed that this theory is efficient in guiding the logic design of current-mode CMOS circuits at switch level.
