Abstract :
A novel implementation of NMIN/NMAX gates based on RTDs and transistors is presented. In this paper we will derive the relations that circuit representative parameters must verify to obtain a correct behaviour by means of the principles of the Monostable-to-Multistable Logic (MML). HSPICE simulations will be used to check our theoretical results.
