Multiple-valued regenerative CMOS logic circuits with high-impedance output state

Current Mode Multiple-Valued Logic Circuits in Digital CMOS Technology

Complexity of silicon integrated circuits (IC) in very large scale of integration (VLSI) using binary logic is reaching a point where most of the silicon area is occupied with interconnecting lines among devices on the chip, which represents a drawback of the approach. First implication of the high wiring complexity is increased packing complexity with increased number of pins (in today's VLSI ...

The Design of Current Mode CMOS Multiple-Valued Circuits

We propose an algorithm for ihe design of multiplevalued current-mode CMOS logic (CMCL) circuiis that i s based on the cost-fable iechnique. The a1 orithm is a heuristic search technique AO' algorithm) L O , l l ] apExhaustive Search while providing realizations that are almost as good. A new cost-table is also proposed ihai results in better realizations ihan obtained with a previous cost-tabl...

A Novel ±0.5V Ultra High Current Drive and Output Voltage Headroom Current Output Stage with Very High Output Impedance

A novel ultra-high compliance, low power, very accurate and high output impedance current output stage (COS) with extremely high output current drive capability is proposed in this paper. The principle of operation of this unique structure is discussed, its most important formulas are derived and its outstanding performance is verified by HSPICE simulation in TSMC 0.18µm CMOS, BSIM3, and Level4...

Digital CMOS Logic Circuits

1.1. Digital IC Technologies and Logic-Circuit Families The chart in Figure 1 shows the major IC technologies and logic-circuit families that are currently in use. Members of each family are made with the same technology, have a similar circuit structure, and exhibit the same basic features. Each logiccircuit family offers a unique set of advantages and disadvantages. In the conventional style ...
