Abstract
Digital circuits are extensively used in any integrated system, sometimes to assist analog or mixed-signal functions and sometimes to perform logical operations. In both cases, logic gates should achieve high gain and large noise margin in order to provide robustness and enable high circuit yield. In this chapter, a new logic style is proposed that, compared to known approaches, improves gain, noise margin, and yield. Furthermore, exploiting only control signals within the power supply range, the proposed logic enables the integration of control circuits to automatically correct for process variations and aging.
