Abstract:
This paper presents a novel design of a ternary multiplier
based on graphene nanoribbon field-effect transistor
(GNRFET). GNRFET, as a new material with superior
physical and electronic properties, can be a good choice
instead of conventional devices such as metal–oxide–
semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) and
CNTFET. Moreover, multiple-valued logic (MVL) can
help to reduce area and decrease the computational step
compared with binary logic. We proposed a ternary
multiplier with the resistors to produce ternary logic. The
proposed multiplier performances are analyzed by
evaluating the delay, power, and power-delay product
(PDP), with 15 nm process technologies based on
GNRFET. The simulation results with HSPICE
demonstrate that the proposed design framework
outperforms state-of-the-art designs in circuit parameters. تفاصيل المقالة
