Towards Reconfigurable Circuits Based on Ternary Controlled Analog Multiplexers/Demultiplexers

摘要

The multiplexers are used in a wide range of applications. At present, they are controlled by binary signals. To reduce the number of interconnections, ternary signals are proposed to be used to control analog multiplexers/demultiplexers. The analog multiplexers/demultiplexers are realized with CMOS transmission gates, their control circuits being designed using CMOS ternary inverters. The technology used to design ternary inverters is SUS-LOC. A 3-to-l analog multiplexer is proposed in the design of a reconfigurable ternary inverter.
