“…Logic functionality is achieved by embedding an input stage (compound-semiconductor transistors, HEMT or HBT) which modifies, according the applied input signal, the peak current of some of the RTDs. MML circuits have been mainly applied in communication systems, where their high-speed performance is expected to be of the most importance for future commercial applications [6], [7].…”

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 inverter, and determines the relations that circuit representative parameters must verify to obtain a correct behaviour.

“…Multiple-valued quantizers are considered one of the most attractive applications of MML circuits, and due to their high-speed performance, they are expected to be exploited in future commercial applications of communication systems [3], [4]. The sample & hold quantizer has the particularity that samples the input whenever it receives a trigger event (the raising of the bias voltage) and holds the output at the acquired input value until the next triggering event occurs.…”

Multiple-valued Logic (MVL) circuits are one of the most attractive applications of the Monostable-to-Multistable transition Logic (MML), and they are of the basis of advanced circuits for communications. The operation of a quantizer has two steps: sampling and holding. Once the quantizer samples the signal, it must maintain the sampled value even if the input changes. However, holding property is not inherent to RTD-based MML circuit topologies. A procedure to obtain the relation between circuit parameters in order to achieve a correct operation is described.
