Cascode Voltage Switch Logic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cascode Voltage Switch Logic refers to a CMOS-type logic family which is designed for certain advantages. It requires mainly nMOS transistors to implement the logic using true and complementary input signals, and also needs 2 pMOS transistors at the top to pull one of the outputs high.

This logic family is also known as Differential Cascode Voltage Switch Logic (DCVS or DCVSL).
