A ternary, or base-3, computer would be odd, disturbing, but nevertheless extremely interesting, making it a great candidate for The Hackaday Prize. A base-3 computer isn’t a new thing, despite ...

Python's pow builtin does binary exponentiation, if your arguments are ints. If the arguments are longs or a intermediate or final result overflows it uses left-to-right binary exponentiation or ...

Huawei’s ternary logic patent could potentially lead to breakthroughs in chip design, and its energy saving features could be significant in the era of AI as data centres equipped with powerful ...

This balanced ternary system is, ‘Perhaps the prettiest number system of all,’ writes Donald Knuth, and now this number system has made it into silicon as a real microprocessor.

Korean researchers develop ternary semiconductor tech Future semiconductors may perform logic with 0, 1, or 2 instead of the current binary system of 0 and 1 with the new technology.

Ternary modulation allows for a third state in the bitstream, where both sides of the H-bridge are held low. A fourth state does exist where both sides are held high, however that state does not ...

EDN Editor-in-Chief Michael Dunn recently posted an interesting article on his BenchTalk blog, “ Ternary DAC: Greater resolution, less bits,” that explores the interesting idea of squeezing more than ...
