Current-controlled CMOS logic family

摘要

Various circuit techniques for implementing ultra high speed circuits use current-controlled CMOS (C³MOS) logic fabricated in conventional CMOS process technology. An entire family of logic elements including inverter/buffers, level shifters, NAND, NOR, XOR gates, latches, flip-flops and the like are implemented using C³MOS techniques. Optimum balance between power consumption and speed for each circuit application is achieve by combining high speed C³MOS logic with low power conventional CMOS logic. The combined C³MOS/CMOS logic allows greater integration of circuits such as high speed transceivers used in fiber optic communication systems.
