Abstract

A digital logic circuit includes a plurality of transistors of a same conduction type. In at least one embodiment, a first transistor has a source, gate and drain connected to a first circuit node, a second circuit node and a first power supply line, respectively. A second transistor has a source, gate and drain connected to the second node, the first node and the first supply line, respectively. A third transistor has a drain connected to the first node. A fourth transistor has a gate and drain connected to a third circuit node and the second circuit node, respectively. A fifth transistor has a gate and drain connected to the first and third nodes, respectively. Such a circuit may be used, for example, as a latch in a shift register of an active matrix addressing arrangement.
