ABSTRACT:
Multiple resonant tunneling devices offer significant advantages for realizing ultra-dense, ultra-high performance multivalued logic arithmetic integrated circuits. A multivalued logic adder is disclosed, wherein two numbers represented by positive digit base-M range-N words are added by two-input summation circuits 40 which sum corresponding digits, then the digit sums are decomposed into a binary representation by range-7 multivalued to binary converter circuits 42, then three-input summation circuits 44 sum appropriate bits of the binary representations to calculate the digits of a positive digit base-2 range-4 word whose value is the sum of the two numbers. Preferably, the decomposition to binary representation is performed by multi-valued folding circuits 56 which are connected by voltage divider circuitry. Preferably, the multi-valued folding circuits contain multiple-peak resonant tunneling transistors 54. Ripple carries are eliminated and the speed of the adder is independent of input word width.
