Abstract
A logic gate for producing an output signal representing a logical operation of a first logic signal and a second logic signal includes a first input terminal for receiving the first logic signal and a second input terminal for receiving the second logic signal. The logic gate further includes a first transistor, a second transistor, and an evaluation node which is connected to a pre-charge device. The first transistor has a first terminal coupled to the first input, a second terminal coupled to the evaluation node, and a third terminal coupled to the second input. The second transistor has a first terminal coupled to the second input, a second terminal coupled to the evaluation node, and a third terminal coupled to the first input. A change in either of the logic signals triggers the logic gate, and a change in both of the logic signals within a predetermined time period results in the logic signals simultaneously canceling each other out.
