Abstract

This paper describes the design techniques of the data converters for Multiple-Valued Logic(MVL). A 3.3V low power 4 digit CMOS analog to quaternary converter (AQC) and quaternary to analog converter (QAC) mainly designed with the neuron MOS down literal circuit block has been introduced. The neuron MOS down literal architecture allows the designed AQC and QAC to accept analog and 4 level voltage inputs, and enables the proposed circuits to have the multi-threshold properity. Low power consumption of the AQC and QAC are achieved by utilizing the proposed architecture.

본 논문에서는 다치논리(Multiple-Valued Logic : MVL)를 위한 데이터 변환기의 설계방법에 대해서 논의한다. 3.3 v의 단일 전원의 4 디지트의 CMOS 아날로그 4치 변환기(Analog to Quaternary Converter : AQC)와 4치 아날로그 변환기(Quaternary to Analog Converter)를 뉴런모스를 사용한 다운리터럴회로(Down-Literal Circuit : DLC)를 사용하여 설계하였다. 뉴런모스 다운리터럴회로는 제안된 AQC와 QAQ가 4개의 전압 레벨값을 출력과 입력으로 사용하게 하며, 소자의 다중 문턱전압 특성을 갖게한다. 제안된 AQC -QAC 회로는 구조면에서 전전력 소모의 특성을 갖는다.
