C. Clarke and Graham R. Nudd, Highly non-linear encoders for Current Mode Multiple-Valued Logic (March 1, 1994).
This paper describes the use of highly non-linear encoders to provide low power Current Mode Multiple Valued Logic (CMMVL) circuits. A maximum function is shown, that consumes much less power than previously reported circuits. The encoding system is based upon using a single transistor between the encoder output and ground to provide a 'very negative' signal that overrides any other connection to the output node.
