Design of multi-valued counter based on νMOS
Yuejun Zhang · Journal of Circuits and Systems · 2010
Through the research on the characteristics of νMOS and the principles of multi-valued logic circuits, this paper presents a design scheme of multi-valued counter. Two-valued coding method and νMOS characteristics, including multiple-input signals threshold operation and the floating gate capacitance coupling effect, are integrated together to implement this proposed scheme. PSPICE simulation is selected to verify the proposed circuit. The simulation results indicate that this multi-valued counter can provide correct logic function, and has characters including simple structure, low power and easy in realization.
