Abstract :
This paper demonstrates the performance, area and supply voltage scaling advantages of a Differential Cascode Voltage-Switch Logic (DCVSL)-like design over previous methods for designing C-elements. The DCVSL-like method is then applied to the design of arbitrary NULL Convention Logic (NCL) gates, which have hysteresis state-holding capability.
