Abstract

The disclosed voting circuit includes a pull-up circuit connected to an output node and to a positive supply voltage. A pull-down circuit is connected to the output node and to ground, and the output node is coupled to receive true output of a first bi-stable circuit. The pull-up circuit pulls the output node to the positive supply voltage in response to complementary output signals from second and third bi-stable circuits being in a first state, and the pull-down circuit pulls the output node to ground in response to complementary output signals from second and third bi-stable circuits being in a second state that is opposite the first state.
