Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to logic gate circuits of digital integrated circuits, particularly for the purpose of constituting gate circuits for realizing XNOR (Exclusive NOR) or XOR (Exclusive OR) circuits composed of CMOS (Complementary MOS), it is to offer complementary gate circuits in which the number of included transistors is reduced largely from that of conventional circuits.
