<p>An adiabatic dynamic non-inverter circuit provides a logic level signal and its inverse simultaneously in dynamic logic circuitry without significant power dissipation. The principles of this non-inverter circuit may be used to create an exclusive-or gate which also does not dissipate significant power. A non-inverter circuit comprises an input node (92), an output node (86) first and second clock nodes (88,-) for receiving first and second periodic adiabatically varying clock signals, and first and second controllable switches (84,85) of opposite conductivity types in series between one (88) of the clock nodes and the output node (86), the first switch (84) having a control terminal responsive to the other of the clock nodes and the second switch having a control terminal (92) responsive to the input node, and a rectifier (90) connected between the output node (86) and the one clock node (88). <IMAGE></p> |
