Abstract
Fast low-power logic gates and method for evaluating logic signals reduce the effect of the power/speed tradeoff for parallel connected logic. A control circuit momentarily enables a high-current pullup or pulldown device after a connected input ladder switches from a conducting state to a non-conducting state. This allows a high current pullup or pulldown to be used for fast evaluation without increasing overall current drain, since the pullup action is momentary.
