Abstract:
A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) circuit fabricated on a silicon substrate, comprising:first circuitry implemented using current-controlled complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (C3MOS) logic with inductive broadbanding wherein logic levels are signaled by current steering in one of two or more branches in response to differential input signals, and wherein first and second series connected RL circuits respectively couple first and second output nodes of a logic element to a power supply node, the first circuitry being configured to operate at a first frequency; and second circuitry implemented using conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic wherein substantially zero static current is dissipated, wherein the second circuitry is coupled to the first circuitry and is configured to operate at a second frequency that is lower than the first frequency.
