Multilevel Sequential Logic Circuit Design

Abstract

Multilevel logic circuits has advantages of simpler circuit complexity, less interconnections and small chip area. However it has not found enough attention and applications because there is not sufficient hardware available. Reference [1] proposes a multilevel flip-flop circuit and its applications for building counter circuits. In this paper it is shown that it is possible to design any arbitrary sequential logic circuit by using this flip-flop. The multilevel circuit is simpler and uses fewer transistors compared to the binary equivalent circuit.
