AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE STRUCTURE OF TRI-LATCHES AND TERNARY BASIC FLIP-FLOPS
三值闩锁和锁存器的结构研究

Starting from the mathematical expressions of storage function, this paper investigates various structures of tri-latches based on modular algebra and lattice algebra systemtically. At the request to input the signal to be stored into these tri-latches, the paper deduces some design techniques to interrupt the feedback rings with AND gate, OR gate and 1 of-2 multiplexer respectively. By the above techniques, ternary basic flip-flops can be derived further.
