Abstract
Abstract A logic circuit includes a pair of transistors formed by junction type or Schottky barrier type field effect transistors (Q,, Q 2 ), a constant current electric source (Q 3 ) connected to a common source terminal of the field effect transistor (Q 1 ,Q 2 ), and a pair of load elements (R 1 , R 2 ) respectively connected between each drain terminal of the field effect transistors (Q 1 , Q 2 ) and an electric source (V DD ). A clamp circuit (D 1 ,D 2 ) is connected between the drain terminals of the pair of field effect transistors.
