Abstract: | A new multiple-valued current-mode MOS integrated circuit is proposed for high-speed arithmetic systems at low supply voltage. Since a multiple-valued source-coupled logic circuit with dual-rail complementary inputs results in a small signal-voltage swing while providing a constant driving current, the switching speed of the circuit is improved at low supply voltage. As an application to arithmetic systems, a 200 MHz 54×51-b pipelined multiplier using the proposed circuits with a 1.5 V supply voltage is designed with a 0.8-μm standard CMOS technology. The performance of the proposed multiplier is evaluated to be about 1.4 times faster than that of a corresponding binary implementation under the normalized power dissipation. A prototype chip is also fabricated to confirm the basic operation of the multiple-valued arithmetic circuit |
