Abstract :
Two new basic circuits for ternary-logical operations are described. Analogue simulation and experimental measurements confirm that the switching speeds of the ternary circuits can be comparable with those in similar binary circuits. It is concluded that a marginal improvement in processing rate may be achieved with ternary logic using transistor-tunnel-diode logic circuits.
