Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus for complementary self-limiting logic are disclosed. In one or more embodiments, a method for mitigating errors caused by transients in a logic gate transistor comprises biasing, by a first stage of transistors, a second stage of transistors such that a voltage potential across terminals of each of the transistors of the second stage are at an equal voltage potential. The method further comprises biasing, by the second stage of transistors, the logic gate transistor such that a voltage potential across terminals of the logic gate transistor are at an equal voltage potential, thereby ensuring that the transients will not cause the logic gate transistor to erroneously change logic states when the logic gate transistor is in a logically off state.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for a smaller and faster triple redundant latch. Three settable memory elements set an identical logical value into each settable memory element. After the settable memory elements are set, a voting structure with inputs from the first settable memory element, the second memory element, and control to the settable memory elements determines the logical value held on the third settable memory element. The propagation delay through the third settable memory element is the only propagation delay of the triple redundant latch.

Abstract: In a preferred embodiment, the invention provides a circuit and method for a high reliability triple redundant latch. Three settable memory elements set an identical logical value into each settable memory element. After the settable memory elements are set, three voting structures with inputs from the first, second, and third settable memory elements and control to the settable memory elements determine the logical values held on the settable memory elements. The propagation delay through a latch is the only propagation delay of the triple redundant latch.
