The world is built on binary electronics, thus high speed and bi-directional radix conversion is needed to enable billions of binary devices to co-exist with non-binary ones. In this article we discuss a generic method for conversion between binary and ternary. A CNTFET implementation is given using a balanced ternary full adder. The implementation is simulated using HSPICE 2020 and is made open source. We demonstrate that nibble word conversion speeds of over 25 GB/s with power consumption of 97.8 μWare achievable with 1760 CNTFETs switching at 5 GHz.
