Patent ID: 7015722

Claim:
A metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) circuit fabricated on a silicon substrate, the MOSFET circuit comprising: a first circuitry, implemented using conventional complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) logic wherein substantially zero static current is dissipated, that is operable to: receive a first plurality of signals; process the first plurality of signals thereby generating a second plurality of signals such that each signal of the second plurality of signals has a first frequency; and output the second plurality of signals; a second circuitry, implemented using current-controlled complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (C 3 MOS) 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 that correspond to at least one signal of the second plurality of 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, that is operable to: receive the second plurality of signals; and process the second plurality of signals thereby generating at least one output signal that has a second frequency.
