Abstract

Various circuit techniques for implementing ultra high speed circuits use current-controlled CMOS (C.sup.3 MOS) logic fabricated in conventional CMOS process technology. An entire family of logic elements including inverter/buffers, level shifters, NAND, NOR, XOR gates, latches, flip-flops and the like are implemented using C.sup.3 MOS techniques. Optimum balance between power consumption and speed for each circuit application is achieve by combining high speed C.sup.3 MOS logic with low power conventional CMOS logic. The combined C.sup.3 MOS/CMOS logic allows greater integration of circuits such as high speed transceivers used in fiber optic communication systems.
