By using the symmetry of negative and positive ternary logics, negative ternary TAND, TOR, TI, 1-3 decoder and 2-9 decoder are derived from the previously designed positive ternary basic logic gate circuits. Furthermore, negative ternary XOR, XNOR, 3-1 encoder, and 9-2 encoder are design-improved. For the first time, unbalanced ternary priority encoders is proposed, including a 3-1 priority encoder and a 9-2 priority encoder,of which the former is implemented with only 7 memristors. The functionalities of these circuits are demonstrated through LTSpice simulations. Finally, hardware experiments were performed on a stable 20×20 ZnO-based resistive switch array. Subsequent design of more complex digital logic circuits can benefit from this work.
