Exclusive-OR gate, an inverted type selector, and adders

摘要

A new type exclusive-OR gate and an inverted type selector are composed using a cascaded connection of two p-type MOSFETs between a positive terminal of a power supply and an signal output terminal, and a cascaded connection of two n-type MOSFETs between a grounded terminal of the power supply and the signal output terminal. Power consumption in the new type exclusive-OR gate and the inverted type selector is reduced by reducing number of conventional inverters used in these circuits. A full-adder and a 4-2 compressor are designed using these new type exclusive-OR gates and inverted selectors or an inverted type selector.
