ABSTRACT:
An Exclusive-OR logic gate with four two-by-two complementary inputs and two complementary outputs. The structure of this Exclusive-Or gate is said to be symmetrical in that the gate has a propagation time that is identical whichever of the two pairs of complementary inputs is switched over, whatever the nature of the transition at output and whatever the logic state of the pair of inputs that do not switch over. The disclosed device enables a further reduction in the differences in the time taken for the propagation of the signal edges through the gate by eliminating the floating character of certain nodes. It also relates to a frequency multiplier comprising a tree of Exclusive-Or gates such as this.
