Abstract
A threshold logic circuit with a low space requirement includes a first and at least one second circuit portion, each of which has an evaluator circuit and at least two branches to be evaluated. A partial sum signal formed in the first circuit portion is jointly used for the at least one second circuit portion and is not formed separately in each case. The main advantage is a low chip area consumption.
Claims3
A threshold logic circuit, comprising:
- a first circuit portion having an evaluator circuit and a neural MOS transistor with a floating gate electrode supplying a partial sum signal;
- and
- at least one second circuit portion having an evaluator circuit and at least one further MOS transistor to be triggered by the partial sum signal.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
