A Novel Low Power 3 Transistor based Universal Gate for VLSI Applications

Abstract

NAND and NOR gates are the two universal logic gates and any other logic gates can be built using them. This paper presents a novel three transistors (3T) based NAND gate with exact output logic levels, yet maintaining comparable performance than the other available NAND gate logic structures. The new logic is characterized by superior speed and low power which can be easily fabricated for Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) designs. The simulation tests were performed by employing standard 90nm CMOS process technology.
