A charge-transfer-device logic cell

A logic scheme capable of performing AND-OR logic functions using charge-transfer devices is presented in this paper. Applications of the logic cell are discussed. A half-adder, a ‘flip-flop’, a majority logic gate, an analog-to-digital and a digital-to-analog converter are obtained by extending or modifying the basic scheme. An integrated MOS BBD realization of the AND-OR logic cell is described in detail. Experimental results are presented and shown to be in agreement with theoretical calculations.
