A survey and tutorial on contemporary aspects of multiple-valued logic and its application to microelectronic circuits

Abstract

Multiple-valued logic has a history that goes back to the 1920s. Its flagship symposium was established in 1971. Despite multiple-valued logic's long history, there have been many recent advances, with several important contributions to microelectronic circuits and systems. This tutorial introduction to the area of multiple-valued logic and survey of recent advances focuses on those contemporary aspects of the field that are most relevant to the circuits and systems community.
