With the increase in advancement in chip technology, there is a great need for high-speed Arithmetic Logic Units (ALUs). These should also consume low power. One such technology which is coming into trend is Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNFET). CNFET is becoming popular because of its high speed and low power consumption properties. Ternary logics are now being preferred over binary logics because of several reasons such as high computational power for advanced technologies. The ternary logic uses three symbols, whereas binary logic uses only two symbols thereby it has higher processing capability. Some other advantage of CNFET based circuits is that only with fewer modifications in the existing CMOS-based designs, ternary logic design can easily be created. Simulation results in this work prove the fact that it has low power consumption and reduced delays, which is a milestone and will be useful for several applications apart from ALUs in future.
