Precision set-reset logic circuit

摘要

A precision SET-RESET logic circuit and operating method separate a latch function from the critical signal path which produces the logic outputs. In a particular implementation the logic circuit includes two differential switch pairs controlled respectively by SET and RESET inputs, with respective enable circuits for the differential pair controlled by the output of the latch circuit. The SET and RESET differential switch pairs respond faster than the latch circuit to a change to the input SET-RESET state. A logic output is initially produced by establishing a first current path through the differential switches and enable circuits in response to a new logic input, and then latched via a different current path.
