Abstract

This paper presents ternary unary operators and multiplexer circuits in carbon nanotube field effect transistor and memristor technology. The designed circuits can be used in designing ternary arithmetic circuits, a ternary full adder is proposed in this paper using ternary unary operators and multiplexers. The proposed circuits are simulated in Cadence Virtuoso using MOSFET-like CNFET and VTEAM memristor model. The proposed ternary full adder is having a savings of 17\(\%\) in the power delay product to the best existing designs. Noise margin analysis was carried out on the proposed circuits and proposed ternary full adder is having a good noise margin.
