    摘要: An apparatus and method of shifting a low-voltage-swing digital signal to a signal of the same polarity with a relatively higher voltage swing are described which eliminate static current consumption by way of a feedback circuit and a pull-up device. By the use of embodiments according to the invention, little power is consumed, and hot electron injection as a mechanism for FET degradation is of little concern. Additionally, no specialized reference voltage is necessary, and precise layout of the circuit is not critical to proper circuit performance.

    摘要: A series of logic clouds is used to distribute and propagate signals traveling a relatively long distance across a data logic circuit fabric. One or more long distance signals originate from an initial logic cloud that may be located on a source data block and pass through a series of logic clouds that may be located on an intermediate data block before passing through a destination logic cloud located on a destination data block. Each logic cloud reads both stabilized logic signals and long distance signals and employs a NAND gate connected with an inverter to perform not only logical operations but also to act as a repeater between the logic clouds. The stabilized logic signals may represent signals that originate from other sources along a given data path.
