Abstract
An electronic circuit such as a latch or a sequencer includes a plurality of transistors, all of the transistors being either NMOS transistors or PMOS transistors, and dissipates less than or approximately the same amount of power as an equivalent CMOS circuit.
Claims20
A memory device comprising:
- a memory array comprising a plurality of generally parallel rows and a plurality of generally parallel columns intersecting the plurality of rows;
- a memory cell proximate an intersection of a row and a column, the memory cell comprising a resistive-change material;
- and
- control circuitry electrically connected to the memory array, the control circuitry comprising a plurality of MOS transistors,
- wherein (i) all of the MOS transistors of the control circuitry are of the same type, the type selected from the group consisting of PMOS and NMOS, and (ii) the control circuitry comprises at least one latch.
