Abstract
A new logic circuit construction in which gates are formed by appropriate interconnections of complementary current-mirror cells. With a signal applied, the resulting logic circuit draws a current drain which rises with power supply voltage, as does the speed of the circuit. With no signal the current drain of the circuit is small. Clocked circuits using this logic can use one clock line. With three states available in the clock line, a non-overlapping two-phase clock is automatically obtained with a simple oscillating signal. This logic circuit is also capable of providing a weighted input or output, enabling threshold logic ('multiple-valued logic') to be performed.
