Abstract

Disclosed is a logic circuit implemented in complementary field effect transistor (CFET) technology for improving the transient response of CFET circuits and providing a true DOT-OR or DOT-AND logic function. The pull-up circuit includes at least one active device and is placed either in parallel with or replaces the conventional load impedance between a source of potential and the output node.
