Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
107 words
A dynamic CMOS logic circuit for implementing a carry look-ahead for at least three bits comprising at least three successie stages controlled by the same timing signal in which the logic network in each stage consists essentially of a first separate pair of driver transistors mutually connected in series to an output node of that stage, a second separate pair of driver transistors mutually connected in parallel, and another driver transistor which is connected between said output node and the second pair of transistors and which in every stage expecting the first has its input terminal directly connected to the output node of the immediately preceding stage.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
107 words
A dynamic CMOS logic circuit for implementing a carry look-ahead for at least three bits comprising at least three successie stages controlled by the same timing signal in which the logic network in each stage consists essentially of a first separate pair of driver transistors mutually connected in series to an output node of that stage, a second separate pair of driver transistors mutually connected in parallel, and another driver transistor which is connected between said output node and the second pair of transistors and which in every stage expecting the first has its input terminal directly connected to the output node of the immediately preceding stage.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
104 words
