The alternative digital electronic component basis creation problem was characterized. The special case of multiple-valued component basis was considered through the example of three-valued (ternary) logic gates. It is possible to implement these logic gates through standard CMOS process, will make possible to design and manufacture ternary very large scale integrated circuits at any modern semiconductor foundry. The three-valued CMOS logic gates classification was presented. This classification emphasize basic approaches of logic gates design and ways for representing logic levels. Main features of three-valued logic gates designed using different approaches was considered. The comparison method for logic gates designed using different approaches was presented. This comparison method defines how to determine transient response of logic gates. The recommendations for technical use of three-valued logic gates created using different approaches were provided.
