A vertical partitioning algorithm for the design of multiple-valued current-mode CMOS logic (CMCL) circuits that is based on the cost-table technique is proposed. The algorithm is a heuristic search technique (AO* algorithm) applied to an AND-OR tree. It partitions a given function according to the location of logic zeros. It is significantly faster than exhaustive search while providing realizations that are almost as good. A cost-table that results in better realizations than obtained with a previous cost-table is proposed.<>

The architecture and operational features of a VLSI fuzzy logic inference processor are described. Also described are the architecture and associated high-level software of two VMEbus-board systems based on the fuzzy chip. The VLSI implementation of a fuzzy logic inference mechanism allows the use of rule-based control and decision making in demanding real-time applications. The CMOS chip consists of 688000 transistors, of which 476000 are used for RAM memory. In addition to operating in a robot, the single chip board is installed on a Sun-3 workstation for further research and software development.<>

Some bounds on the maximum number of implicants needed in a minimal sum of products expression using window literals and the truncated sum, operation are investigated. Functions with one input variable require at most r implicants in their minimum sum of products expression, where r is the radix of the function. Two variable functions with radix less than eight are analyzed. No firm bounds could be established for two variable functions with radix greater than four.<>

According to the action principle of I/sup 2/L circuits, the theory of grounded current switches is proposed to describe the interaction between grounded transistors and current signals in I/sup 2/L circuits. In this theory, the switching state of transistor and the current signal are described separately by two different kinds of variables. Threshold comparison operations and grounding operations are introduced to connect these two kinds of variables. Based on discussions of the properties of operations and syntheses of functions, the design procedure is illustrated using the quaternary level restored complement gate and the quaternary quantizer as examples.<>

Due to the need for coexistence with binary logic, the implementation of multiple-valued logic must deal with the representations that are conceptually multiple-valued, but physically binary. Some theoretical insights about the VLSI implementation based on a programmable logic array (PLA) approach are presented. The study of these output functions reveals an interesting problem domain that parallels the number theory. It is found that the binary-related radices are not just efficient or direct-packing, but also lower in terms of silicon costs. Implementation of the individual modulo adders and multipliers that form the core for designing a residual number arithmetic unit is discussed. The costs involved in developing these subsystems can then be directly related to the design of the overall system. This tutorial demonstrates that the power-of-two advantage in the implementation costs may be technology-independent.<>

Logic programming using the Horn clause in the field of artificial intelligence is considered. It has been previously reported that the solution of multivalued logic programming with many truth values is obtained by solving the multivalued logic formula expressed in the Postian algebra. In this paper, expanding the idea that unnecessary search can be avoided by using an indeterminate value, an algorithm that solves three-valued logic programming using four-valued logic is obtained. The relation between the Horn clause and Postian algebra is established.<>

The basic properties of the MOS current-mode circuits are considered, and the network synthesis for realization of unary multivalued functions is discussed. The main concern is the minimization of hardware realization. Functional blocks to compose a current-mode circuit from the viewpoint of a design cost are considered. Some decomposition methods of unary functions are proposed and their circuit realizations with MOS pass transistor networks are presented.<>

NPN crisp logic extends the usual 4-valued model (+, -, 0, ?) to a 6-valued model (1, 0, +1, (-1, 0), (0, +1), (-1, +1)) and adds one more level of specification to the usual model.
