Guided by the switch-signal theory, this paper introduced design theory suitable for currentmode CMOS circuits at switch level. On this basis, the operations of current transmission switch used to describe the action of threshold-controllable switch in Schmitt trigger were established, and a novel current-mode CMOS ternary Schmitt trigger with ternary output current or voltage signal was presented. The two hysteresis current values of ternary Schmitt trigger were controlled by only sizing the transistor aspect ratio. The main properties of the circuit were its simple structure, fully adjustable hysteresis and suitability for low-voltage applications. The designed circuit was simulated using HSPICE program and model pa- rameters of a TSMC 0.25 μm CMOS process, with 1.5 V power supply. From the simulation results, the effectiveness of the proposed approach and the ideal characteristic of ternary Schmitt circuit were validated.
