Abstract
A ternary logic circuit includes: a first inverter unit; a second inverter unit arranged in parallel with the first inverter unit; a first junction unit arranged between the first inverter unit and an output terminal and including a tunnel PN junction; and a second junction unit arranged between the second inverter unit and the output terminal and including a tunnel PN junction, wherein, when an absolute value of an input voltage applied to an input terminal is less than a first input voltage, the output terminal outputs a first output voltage, and when the absolute value of the input voltage is greater than the first input voltage and less than a second input voltage, the output terminal outputs a second output voltage, and when the absolute value of the input terminal is greater than the second input voltage, the output terminal outputs a third output voltage.
