ABSTRACT:
A new negative resistance circuit comprises a first N-channel enhancement FET (E-FET), an N-channel depletion FET as a load element connected to the first N-channel E-FET to form a series branch connected between negative resistance ports, and a second N-channel E-FET having source-drain path parallel to the series branch. The gate of the second N-channel E-FET is connected to the connection node between the load element and the first E-FET, while the gate electrode of the first E-FET is connected to a control port for controlling current-voltage characteristic between the negative resistance ports. The negative resistance circuit can be used in an inverter to enable the inverter to have a hysteretic function or a multivalued logic function.
