Abstract

See full text

A complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) circuit is described. The CMOS circuit includes a plurality of CMOS gates, a plurality of logic inputs and a logic output. Each CMOS gate is connected to a negative power supply terminal (Vss) and a positive power supply terminal (Vdd). The CMOS circuit further includes parasitic nets connected to the CMOS gates, and net pulldown circuits for eliminating a charge accumulation on the parasitic nets while avoiding potential short circuit conditions. The CMOS gates may be OR-AND-INVERT (OAI) gates or AND-OR-INVERT (AOI) gates.
