Humans like to assign names to units of 10, 100, 1000, etc due to our decimal number system. Binary has a very close "Magic Number" of 1024 which is 2 to the power of 10. Ternary does not align very well with decimal, so the nearest value 729 is chosen; 3 to...")

NPN/PNP CMOS logic gate layouts would result in low power usage. It would not be a cheap project but there is no reason it would not function if obviously build correctly. Another option is using standalone fast switching discrete SMT logic gates. If I ever get around to learning how to create...")

I won't know what size FPGA to get until the T729 architecture is mostly complete. Large FPGAs can get quite expensive. I foresee some limitations running a ternary project on an FPGA. * FPGAs can only do binary. Must use ADC and DACs to handle analog signals. ** Only BCT implementation would work on an FPGA. * Memory...")
