Abstract
In the field of Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA) a new paradigm, ternary QCA, has been especially investigated and also is being advanced. In order to have a versatile platform of designing, it should be possible to make interactions between binary QCA and ternary QCA circuits. A novel interface with such capability is proposed here. In fact, a ternary-to-binary (and vice versa) converter has been designed and reported in this paper. Detailed circuit design and results are presented to show correct functionality of the proposed converter.
