This paper presents CMOS circuit designs of a ternary adder and a ternary multiplier,formulated usingtransmission function theory.Binary carry signals appearing in these designs allow conventional look-aheadcarry techniques to be used.Compared with previous similar designs,the circuits proposed in this paperhave advantages such as low dissipation,low output impedance,and simplicity of construction.
