This paper presents the rationale for vMOS-based realizations of digital ci
rcuits when logic design techniques based on threshold logic gates are used
, Some practical problems in the vMOS implementation of threshold gates hav
e been identified and solved. The feasibility and versatility of the propos
ed technique as well as its potential as a low-cost design technique Tor CM
OS technologies have been shown by experimental results from a multiple-inp
ut Muller C-element, The proposed new realization exhibits better performan
ce related to delay and area and power consumption than the traditional log
ic implementation.
