    摘要: An exclusive OR circuit includes a first series circuit in which a source of a first pMIS transistor is connected to a positive-voltage power supply line. A drain of the first pMIS transistor is connected to a drain of a first nMIS transistor via a second nMIS transistor. The source of the first nMIS transistor is connected to a low-voltage power supply line via a fourth nMIS transistor. A second series circuit has a drain of a third nMIS transistor connected to a high-voltage power supply line via a second pMIS transistor. The source of the third nMIS transistor is connected to the source of a third pMIS transistor. The drain of the third pMIS transistor is connected to the low-voltage power supply line via a fourth pMIS transistor. The gates of the first and third nMIS transistors and the first and third pMIS transistors are connected to one another and provided with a first input. The gates of the second and fourth nMIS transistors and the second and fourth pMIS transistors are connected to one another and provided with a second input. The sources of the second and third nMIS transistors are connected to each other and provide the exclusive OR of the first and second inputs.
