Operation limits in RTD-based ternary quantizers

Published: 11 March 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Multiple-valued Logic (MVL) circuits are one of the most attractive applications of the Monostable-to-Multistable transition Logic (MML), and they are on the basis of advanced circuits for communications. However, a proper design is not inherent to the usual MML circuit topologies. This paper analyses the case of an MML ternary quantizer, and determines the relations that circuit representative parameters must verify to obtain a correct DC operation.
