Abstract
This paper compares the performance of the ternary adders and multipliers using balanced and unbalanced set of values. We use the 1-trit adders to evaluate the two versions of a 4-trit propagate adder, which are comparedwith a 6-bit corresponding propagate adder. Similarly, we compare the two types of 2*2 trit multipliers with a3*3 bit multiplier. The simulations with a 32-nm Carbon Nanotuble Field-Effect Transistor (CNTFET) technology show that the binary adders and multipliers are more efficient than the ternary ones that compute the same amount of information
