Abstract: A Ternary Arithmetic Logical Unit (TALU) combines the adder, subtractor, and Ex-OR into a single module. Therefore, a novel design is proposed in this manuscript for TALU using multiple controlled reversible gates and the Gate Diffusion Input (GDI) technique-based multiplexer (TALU-GDI-MUX). The proposed ternary arithmetic logic unit (ALU) architecture includes a function selector, transmission gates (TG), and a rewritten functional module for abstraction. The functional module chooses the arithmetical or logical operations. The functional modules are designed using multiple controlled reversible gates with a GDI technique-based multiplexer, which provides the output of TALU operation, such as TALU1 and TALU0. This reduces transistor usage and power consumption while maximizing the speed. The TALU-GDI-MUX approach is implemented in HSPICE experimental tools. The TALU-GDI-MUX attains 23.53%, 15.64%, and 33.85% lower Delay, 32.43%, 14.84%, and 15.75% higher speed when compared to the existing techniques. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
