A one-hot Muller C-element, wherein an event received on each of a plurality of inputs results in an event being output, can be implemented with complementary inputs and a true transistor pair comprising one transistor having a gate coupled to a first true input and another transistor having a gate coupled to a second true input; a true arm comprising the true transistor pair, coupled in series between a complement output and ground, and a true pull-up transistor, coupled between the complement output and a source; a true arm pull-up logic gate, coupled at its inputs to complement input wires of the one-hot Muller C-element and coupled at its output to a gate of the true pull-up transistor; a complement transistor pair comprising one transistor having a gate coupled to a first complement input and another transistor having a gate coupled to a second complement input; a complement arm comprising the complement transistor pair, coupled in series between a true output and ground, and a complement pull-up transistor, coupled between the true output and the source; and a complement arm pull-up logic gate, coupled at its inputs to true input wires of the one-hot Muller C-element and coupled at its output to a gate of the complement pull-up transistor.
A one-hot Muller C-element, wherein an event received on each of a first input and a second input results in an event being output, the Muller C-element comprising:
A Muller C-element operating according to a one-hot protocol, wherein the one-hot protocol is such that an event is signalled on a complementary wire pair by a transition in one direction on one of the wires of the complementary wire pair, the Muller C-element comprising:
