From a fuzzy flip-flop to a MVL flip-flop

The paper presents a circuit description of a MVL flip-flop which is implemented in MOS technology. The circuit has its origins in a bipolar implementation of a fuzzy flip-flop. The proposed circuit not only simplifies the original bipolar design but it offers considerable potential for a VLSI implementation. Simulation of the circuit using HSpice indicates that it can also be interpreted as a multiple-valued logic flip-flop for any radix. This provides a basic building block for the increasing developments in multiple-valued VLSI circuit design
