Application of multiple-valued switch-level algebra to the design and analysis of pass-transistor switch networks

Pass-transistor switch networks have many advantages over gate-level networks, including high density, high speed, and low power dissipation. However, their design and analysis lack rigorous mathematical tools. A study is made of the application of the multiple-valued switch-level algebra introduced by M. Hu (1989) to the design and analysis of pass-transistor networks. After a brief introduction of the algebra, the design and analysis procedures are discussed in detail. Some design and analysis examples are given
