1) The document presents the design of efficient quaternary half adders and full adders using multi-value logic techniques. It aims to minimize hardware, reduce power dissipation, and improve performance by designing the adders to operate directly on quaternary inputs and outputs without requiring conversion to or from binary.
2) The proposed quaternary half adder and full adder circuits are implemented using a voltage-mode approach in a 0.18um CMOS technology. Truth tables are provided to demonstrate the quaternary addition operations.
3) Prior work on arithmetic operations and adder implementations using multi-value logic are reviewed, identifying benefits such as reduced gate counts and interconnections compared to binary implementations
