Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for selectively controlling weak feedback in pass gate logic circuits. The pass gate logic circuit includes an intermediate node. A feedback transistor stack is connected between the intermediate node and a voltage supply. The feedback transistor stack includes a pair of transistors. A test signal is applied to a control input of one of the pair of transistors for selectively activating the feedback transistor stack.
