Abstract

An integrated circuit chip with high level logic functions formed from a pass gate logic family. The logic for each logic book includes at least one pass gate. Each book has complementary outputs and a pseudo latch attached to its outputs. If the book is of one FET type, the pseudo latch is of the opposite type. Books are placed in the logic function such that the output pseudo latches redrive opposite logic levels on alternating stages of series-connected books.
