A Novel CNFET-Based Ternary to Binary Converter Design in Data Transmission

The limitations in binary data transmission are mainly for low speed and a notable increase in energy consumption. Whereas, Multiple-Valued Logic (MVL) has over two-valued logic to increase the speed and to reduce energy consumption. Therefore, this paper proposes a Ternary-to-Binary Converter based on Carbon Nano-Tube Field Effect Transistors (CNFETs) to be used in ternary data transmission. The proposed converter has two ternary trits as input and four binary bits as output. Logical analysis and simulation results, using the HSPICE simulator, prove the merits of the implementation compared to existing designs regarding the transistors count, propagation delay, and energy consumption.
