A new GaAs logic family, pseudo-dynamic latched logic (PDLL), is intro
duced. Compared with traditional static GaAs logic families, PDLL allo
ws complex gate design with less power dissipation. In addition, it ov
ercomes problems associated with charge degradation in the storage nod
es in dynamic logic gates, and operates at relatively high temperature
s. PDLL is self-latched which leads iu the possibility of implementing
compact pipeline systems.
