Abstract

Combinatorial logic circuits with feedback, which include at least two combinatorial logic elements, are disclosed. At least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an external input (i.e., from outside the circuit), at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is feedback of the circuit output, and at least one of the combinatorial logic elements receives an input that is neither an external input nor an output of the circuit but rather is from another of the combinatorial logic elements and thus only 'implicit' to the circuit. No staticizers are needed; the logic circuits effectively create implicit equations to perform functions that were previously thought to require sequential logic. The combinatorial logic circuits result in a stable output (in some instances after a brief period of time) due to the implicit equations, rather than achieving stability from an explicit expression of some input to the circuit.
