New Design of Binary to Ternary Converter

Abstract

Ternary quantum-dot cell automata (TQCA) are a relatively new quantum structure in QCA. The design of ternary digital circuits with this type of structure is increasing because of its proximity to fuzzy logic. The use of multi value logic (MVL) increases circuit density and gives more information about the variable. Designing a circuit combined of binary QCA (bQCA) and TQCA requires interaction between these two technologies, and to create this interaction a converter is used to convert binary to ternary, which is a useful interface. In fact, binary to ternary design can be used as a link between QCA technology at various levels and new multi-value QCA cell structures can be used. In this paper, a new binary-to-ternary converter is introduced. The proposed circuit simulation is presented to show the correct performance of the proposed converter by MATLAB software.
