| 20080197882 | LOGIC CIRCUITS - A logic circuit includes a logic unit, a driving unit, and a voltage level adjuster. The logic unit includes an output node having a logic state, the logic unit being coupled to a first voltage reference. The driving unit includes an input node, the driving unit being coupled to a second voltage reference, the driving unit and the first logic unit being constructed from a single type of transistor. The voltage level adjuster provides a control signal that causes the driving unit to reduce a current flowing through the driving unit when the output node of the first logic unit has a first logic state, and causes the driving unit to drive an output node of the logic circuit to a voltage level substantially equal to that of the second voltage reference when the output node of the first logic unit has a second logic state. | 08-21-2008 |
