Abstract
An adiabatic logic circuit includes bidirectional transfer members to which input variables of the circuit are applied and which are connected between a first circuit terminal connected to a clock generator whose clock signal also powers the circuit and a second circuit terminal forming its output and which assumes two logic levels as a function of the input variables. The circuit has a third terminal connected to the second terminal via its inherent capacitance and precharges the second terminal to a potential corresponding to one of the logic levels outside active phases of the clock signal.
