Abstract

Despite logic families based on floating-gate MOS (FGMOS) transistors achieve significant reductions in terms of power and transistor count, these logics have had little impact on VLSI design due to their sensitivity to noise. In order to attain robustness to this phenomenon, Positive-Feedback Floating-Gate logic (PFFGL) uses a differential architecture and positive feedback; data obtained from a 0.5µm ON Semiconductors test chip and from SPICE simulations shows PFFGL to be immune to noise from parasitic couplings as well as to leakage even when minimum device size is used.
