| Abstract: | This paper presents threshold comparison operation, transmission operation and union operation which can be used to describe the function of MOS transistors in a pass-transistor network. The relative properties and circuit realizations of these operations, and the transmission function expression by use of these operations are discussed. A transmission function theory suitable to CMOS network synthesis is proposed. This paper also discusses the simplification of ternary functions and proposes minimized design of some basic ternary CMOS circuits. The computer simulation using SPICE2G5 has confirmed that these circuits have desirable DC transfer characteristics. |
