Title Design and Applications of Energy-efficient Ternary Logic Circuits
Summary In the realm of digital electronics, binary logic has long been the standard for data representation and processing. However, as the demand for higher data density and energy efficiency grows, the limitations of binary systems become increasingly apparent. Ternary logic circuits, which operate with three logic levels instead of two, offer a promising alternative.

This project focuses on the design of ternary logic circuits and explores their potential applications, aiming to leverage their benefits for more efficient computing solutions. The project will concentrate on designing and implementing both combinational and sequential ternary circuits, including advanced ternary arithmetic circuits, registers, and memory circuits.

In this project, the attached student(s) will participate in the design and optimization of ternary arithmetic circuits based on commercial CMOS technology. New logic synthesis methods and logic functions will be explored to improve the power and delay of the circuits. Furthermore, the project will delve into the applications of ternary logic computing in image processing.

The student will gain practical skills in electronic design automation (EDA) tools and familiarization with industry-standard IC design workflows.
