A novel methodology for the construction and operation of logical circuits and gates that makes use of and contact to a fourth (4th) terminal (substrates/bodies) of MOSFET devices is implemented by the present invention to realize a novel decode personalization. The novel construction and operation of the decode personalization provides for maintaining body-contacted MOSFET devices at a lower threshold voltage (VTh) when actively on (to increase overdrive and performance), and at a higher relative threshold voltage when off (to reduce leakage power). Because the threshold potential of a transistor moves inversely to its body potential, the body of each device is tied to the inverse of the device's drain voltage to achieve such a desirable threshold potential modulation effect for improved device, circuit, gate, decode personalization and logical family operation.
