Abstract
A novel Neuron MOS transistor has come into being recently due to the characteristic of controlling the weighted sum of multiple-input gate and capacitance coupling effect in floating gate, as well as the function of saving the data in the floating gate. The Neuron MOS transistor can be used to replace complex operation on threshold in multiple-valued logic. Based on these characteristics, this paper proposes a new method for designing the multiple-valued D/A and A/D converter. The PSPICE simulation suggests that the designed circuit has correctly operational logic function and is characterized in low power consumption.
