ABSTRACT:
A class of logic circuits in which different types of current switching logic gates are connected to different nodes of a current summing network for concurrently producing different logic functions of the same input variables. In one embodiment, N single-input current switches forming a threshold logic gate are operated with their inputs parallelling respective ones of an N-input current switch forming an emitter-coupled logic (ECL) OR-gate. An output current of the ECL gate is combined with the out-of-phase output currents of the threshold gate in a first current summing network, comprised of at least two resistors, for producing different logic functions of the signals applied to the N inputs. The in-phase output currents of the threshold gate are supplied to a second summing network for producing still different logic functions of the input signals. The different logic functions produced at the different nodes of the two summing networks may be further combined (e.g. logically OR'ed) to produce predetermined logic functions, such as the FULL ADDER or EXCLUSIVE-OR within approximately one gate delay.
