Abstract:
An electronic circuit comprising:a current source for providing a current responsive to a pair of complementary low power signals, said complementary low power signals being in alternate binary states to provide a reduction in power consumption and an increase in switching speed; a first stage for receiving said current and directing said current, responsive to at least one enable signal, to one of a first voltage potential and a second stage; said second stage for receiving said current and directing said current to one of a plurality of output nodes, in response to at least one control signal; a control circuit for receiving a command signal and providing said at least one enable signal responsive to said command signal, said control circuit comprising an inherent latency, wherein: said pair of complementary low power signals are responsive to said command signal through a circuit such that changes in said command signal are sensed by said pair of complementary low power signals before being sensed by said at least one enable signal.
