Abstract
Provided herein is a new RF implementation. Instead of using a pre-charged High node for one or more of its evaluation nodes, it employs an evaluation (or evaluate) node that is discharged (Low) prior to evaluation and enters evaluation in a discharged state. In some embodiments, with such 'normally Low' evaluation nodes, it uses pull-up stack devices, rather than pull-down devices, to charge the evaluate node during an evaluate phase if the logic so dictates.
