Since the inverter is the main building block in digital design, in this paper, the analysis of the RTD-loaded NMOS inverter is addressed quantitatively with its static and dynamic characteristics investigated and compared with that of the conventional static CMOS inverter. Specifically, compact-form...
Break-before-make CMOS inverter for power-efficient delay implementation In almost all designs, the logic swing of DRMCML circuits is taken as [DELTA]V < [V.sub.th], this is because the NMOS transistor [N.sub.1] can operate at saturation region. Near-threshold computing and minimum supply...

Figure 6shows a block diagram of the proposed Pseudo-NMOS comparator-based programmable divide-by-N clock frequency divider, which comprises a new count detector, an inverter, and a control block. The control block includes a 5-bit synchronous UP counter and a reset logic. This clock divider ...
