Abstract :
The performance under the stuck at faults is analyzed for circuits using multiple-valued logic and triple modular redundancy (TMR). Three types of faults are specified, and the voter output of the TMR is determined on the basis of the type of fault. The average error per bit of the voter output is determined taking into consideration the type of fault and the signal transmitted. The errors due to Gaussian noise in multivalued logic are also analyzed
