Abstract :
A novel dynamic ratioless logic called DICMOS is proposed. The main features are low power dissipation and high packing density. No quiescent power is consumed. The realisation of a logic function requires only one MOS transistor per input variable and only one additional pull-up device; e.g. the pull-up element could be implemented as a Schottky-barrier diode, i.e. a simple contact.
