Abstract: Reconfigurable logic cells based on dual gate MOSFET transistors (DG MOSFETs) including n inputs (A,B), n being greater than or equal to 2 and capable of performing at least four logic functions with which logical signals provided on the n inputs (A,B) may be processed. The cell contains, between the ground and the output (F) of the cell, at least one first branch including n dual gate N-type MOSFET transistors (M1,M2) in series and n?1 branches in parallel with the first branch, each provided with a dual gate N-type MOSFET transistor (M3), each of the logic functions corresponding to a given configuration of the cell. A specific set of control signals (C1,C2) is applied on the rear gates of at least one portion of the transistors (M2,M3), each control signal (C1,C2) being capable of setting the transistor (M2,M3) to a particular operating mode.

Abstract: The present invention provides a low swing current mode logic circuit including: a current mode logic block having data inputs and outputs; a pre-charging circuit for pre-charging the outputs; a dynamic current source; an evaluation circuit for evaluating the logic block during an evaluation phase; and, a feedback path arranged between the outputs and the dynamic current source which is responsive to a difference between the outputs. The simplicity of generating the low swing, achieved by the feedback which may be implemented by only two transistors, is in contrast with the complexity introduced by some methods used by other logic styles for achieving low swing.
