  • Resonant tunneling diode structures for funtionally complete low-power logic
    Patent number: 5815008
    Abstract: Negative-resistance resonant tunnel diodes (RTDs) perform a complete set of logic functions with a single basic configuration. Inputs feed through Schottky diodes to a transfer RTD coupled to a clocked latch having two RTDs in series. Cascaded gates are driven synchronously by multiple clock phases or by asynchronous event signals. An XOR configuration also provides logical inversion.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 5, 1997
    Date of Patent: September 29, 1998
    Assignee: Mayo Foundation for Medical Education and Research
    Inventors: William Williamson, III, Barry Kent Gilbert
