초록

We present the design of ternary flip-flop which is based on ternary logic so as to process ternary data. These flip-flops are fabricated with ternary voltage mode NOR, NAND, INVERTER gates. These logic gate circuits are designed using CMOS and obtained the characteristics of a lower voltage, a lower power consumption as compared to other gates. These circuits have been simulated with the electrical parameters of a standard 0.25 micron CMOS technology and 2.5 volts supply voltage. The Architecture of proposed ternary flip-flop is highly modular and well suited for VLSI implementation, only using ternary gates.
