Abstract

A design tool to support design of a N-NARY logic circuit is described. The designer develops a syntax statement that comprises encoded information according to a defined syntax governing signal naming, logical function, and circuit performance. The encoded syntax statement describes the desired logical function of the N-NARY logic circuit and the specific configuration of transistors required to build the N-NARY logic circuit. The syntax statement is provided to a compiler that processes and decodes the syntax statement, and generates from the syntax statement a behavioral model of the N-NARY circuit and a physical circuit description of the N-NARY circuit.
