Abstract
A cell includes a first pair and a second pair of MOS transistors. Each of the first pair and second pair of MOS transistors have drain electrodes coupled to a respective common input node. Each of the first pair and second pair of MOS transistors includes a diode-connected MOS transistor and a latched MOS transistor. The latched MOS transistors of the first pair and second pair of MOS transistors have cross-coupled gate and drain electrodes. Source electrodes of the diode connected MOS transistors from the first pair and second pair of MOS transistors are coupled to a first current output common node to output a current to a first current collecting circuit. Source electrodes of the latched MOS transistors of the first pair and second pair of MOS transistors are coupled to a second current output common node to output a current to a second current collecting circuit.
