Patent ID: 7720514

Claim:
A voltage translation circuit, comprising: a differential input having a first and second input links; at least one output; a network comprising a plurality of nanotube switching elements, each nanotube switching element having an input node, output node, and control structure, each nanotube switching element responsive to electrical stimulus on the control structure to controllably form and unform an electrically conductive channel between the input node and the output node; at least two of the plurality of nanotube switching elements electrically disposed between a reference voltage and the first output; at least two of the plurality of nanotube switching elements electrically disposed between the first and second input links and the at least one output; wherein the network is constructed and arranged to transform electrical stimulus received at the input links to output at the at least one output in response to said reference voltage and the controllable forming and unforming of the electrically conductive channel in each of said nanotube switching elements.
