Ternary Logic Synthesis with Modified Quine-McCluskey Algorithm

Logic synthesis has been increasingly important to accelerate the development of high-level systems. However, in multi-valued logic, logic synthesis methods that can process emerging devices are deficient. We propose and automate a method to synthesize ternary logic circuits. Our design of ternary logic circuits is based on static gate design, and exploits carbon nanotube field-effect transistors.
