A CMOS circuit implementation of a functionally complete multiple-valued logic (MVL) set of operators is proposed. The set consists of literal, cycle, complement of literal, complement of cycle, min, and tsum operators. In all of the circuits, multiple-valued logic levels are represented in terms of current values. Binary voltage signals are generated inside the circuits using a threshold circuit element. These binary voltage signals are used to generate control signals for switches to realize appropriate current levels for the desired multiple-valued logic levels. Transient analysis simulations (using HSPICE) to verify the functionality of the designed circuits and the effect of variation in process parameters are also reported.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
