Abstract

See full text

The series connection between operating voltage terminals of the channels of field effect transistors with electrically alterable threshold voltage, programmed one for conduction and the other for non-conduction in response to programming voltage on their gate-to-gate connection, forms a programmable latch. A pair of such latches, or such a latch and a complementary-pair logic inverter, form a programmable complemented latch. The programmable complemented latch can be used to selectively enable a complementary-pair transmission gate, or to selectively enable a complementary-pair logic inverter, or to alternatively enable a transmission gate and a logic inverter. This last operation can be carried out, for example, in a modified Annis exclusive-OR gate configuration, for selectively inverting or not inverting a logic input.
