Abstract :
A ternary identity cell composed only of CMOS transistors is presented. The circuit has fewer transistors and better performance than that of previously reported designs. A nano-watt power consumption and fast switching time are important advantages that this circuit possesses. Applications include buffers, pad drivers and triflops.
