Abstract

A current mode logic circuit has a first and second NMOS transistors N1 and N2, an input terminal IN connected to both gates of the first and second NMOS transistors N1 and N2 to input data, a reference voltage input terminal REF, an output terminal OUT connected to a drain of the first NMOS transistor N1, and a current power source I connected both sources of the first and second NMOS transistors N1 and N2. Body terminals of the first and second NMOS transistors N1 and N2 are connected to the input terminal IN and the reference terminal REF, respectively so that the body voltage of each of the first and second NMOS transistors N1 and N2 is controlled.
