Logic synthesis has been increasingly important to accelerate the development of high-level systems. However, in multi-valued logic, logic synthesis methods that can process emerging devices are deficient. We propose and automate a method to synthesize ternary logic circuits. Our design of ternary logic circuits is based on static gate design, and exploits carbon nanotube field-effect transistors. We optimize ternary logic circuits by minimizing the number of transistors with a modified Quine-McCluskey algorithm. Our proposed method has improved power-delay product by 52.72 % over the state-of-the-art method for a ternary half adder, and by 68.06 % for a ternary multiplier. We also have improved power-delay product by 37.30 % over the state-of-the-art method for a ternary full adder that has high load capacitance. Our design has an average of 42.43 % fewer transistors than the existing design for circuits that have large number of inputs. As circuits become larger, the improved power-delay product and reduced transistor count are advantageous. |
