  • Patent number: 4649296
    Abstract: A multi-input CMOS integrated circuit gate is made with fewer PFETs connected between the source voltage and the output node than there are inputs. In many cases only a single PFET is employed. The inputs are applied through a logic network connected to the gate of the remaining PFET. The gate exhibits reduced parasitic capacitance, better PFET-NFET size ratios, and higher speeds.
