“…Ternary chips are expected to play a significant role in deep learning and artificial intelligence in the future, as they offer faster model training due to their three Boolean types [9]. Also, humans will need to develop semiconductors with three states that are suitable for balanced ternary chips, which will greatly improve the efficiency of existing ternary chip designs [10].…”

The current landscape of digital computing predominantly relies on the binary system, limited to representing information using only 0 and 1. Nevertheless, the relentless progression in chip design and manufacturing technology has pushed traditional binary chips to the confines of Moore's Law. To transcend these limitations, alternative computing paradigms are being explored. Among these, balanced ternary chips have emerged as a disruptive concept, offering a fresh perspective. This paper delves into the fundamental principles of ternary computing, elucidates the reasons underpinning its adoption, and discusses chip design considerations. Additionally, it provides insights into the real-world applications of ternary chips, highlighting both research and practical cases. Furthermore, the paper explores the challenges currently faced by balanced ternary computing and outlines potential directions for future development. In conclusion, this research not only broadens our understanding of ternary computing but also underscores its significance in reshaping the landscape of computing technology, potentially overcoming the limitations of binary systems, and ushering in a new era of computational efficiency.

Traditional digital circuits use binary logic for implementation which requires more number of data lines to carry information. In contrast to binary, multiple-valued logic (MVL), digital circuits require less number of data lines to represent information. MVL uses more than two levels to represent a number; thereby reducing the number of interconnects. One of its kind is ternary logic, (known as radix-3 system) and uses three different voltage levels, whereas the other quaternary logic (radix-4 system) uses four different voltage levels to represent a number. Various digital circuits are implemented using MVL which potentially reduces the chip area, power consumption, and propagation delay. This article discusses about fundamental concepts of ternary, quaternary system and reviews some of arithmetic and logic circuits using ternary and quaternary logic. This paper also presents different methodologies used to implement arithmetic and logic operations using MVL. It is found that, due to the effective utilization of interconnects, MVL digital circuits provide better performance over binary digital circuits in terms of area, power, and delay.

The binary number system is the basic number representation in computing. We can encode natural numbers with finite 0-1 sequences. The representation of natural numbers is based on this system. However, this poses problems and is technically not perfect. Several attempts have been made to handle integers (signed numbers). We mention only two: the balanced triple number system and the number system with base −2. Our paper introduces new possibilities. We also shed light on the graph theoretical background of the new number systems.
