Novel Ternary Adder and Multiplier Designs Without Using Decoders or Encoders by Jihad Mohamed Aljaam (16864257)

“…This paper proposes new ternary combinational digital circuits that reduce energy consumption in low-power nano-scale embedded systems and Internet of Thing (IoT) devices to save their battery consumption. The 32 nm CNTFET-based ternary half adder (THA) and multiplier (TMUL) circuits use novel ternary unary operator circuits and implement two power supplies Vdd and Vdd/2 without using any ternary decoders, basic logic gates, or encoders to minimize the number of used transistors and improve the energy efficiency. …”
