A design scheme of a novel ternary adiabatic JKL flip-flop was presented by research on multi-valued logic,adiabatic circuits,and the structure and working principle of ternary flip-flops.In the scheme,firstly,the theory of three essential circuit elements was taken as the guide,the component-level expressions of the ternary adiabatic JKL flip-flop were derived,and the corresponding circuit structure was realized by adopting MOS transistors with different thresholds.Secondly,an adiabatic novenary asynchronous counter was further designed by applying the ternary adiabatic JKL flip-flop and the ternary adiabatic literal circuit.Finally,HSPICE simulation results verify that the proposed circuits have correct logic function.Compared with a conventional ternary JKL flip-flop and a novenary asynchronous counter,the average energy consumption of the designed circuits is both saved more than 75%.
