This is a major oversight because enhancement mode MOSFET logic can only be used in "negative logic" circuits such as Boolean NAND or NOR gates, not in "positive logic" circuits such as AND or "Door

Embodiment Construction

[0060] Computer simulation techniques for MOSFETs present fundamental difficulties regarding the definition of the source and drain pins; due to the symmetrical structure of the MOSFET, these two pins are practically interchangeable, and the source and drain The definition of the name is just naming and doesn't matter. However, in a computer simulation program, both types of pins must be precisely defined before calculations can begin. Traditionally, there are two methods to define the pins of MOSFETs by using DC voltage or majority carriers. For the voltage method, the pin with the lower DC voltage is generally considered the source, and the pin with the higher DC voltage is considered the drain. Another conventional method to identify the source and drain is to use the majority carrier concept that considers the pin supplying the majority carriers as the source. Unfortunately, both of these methods are imperfect.

Abstract

Positive logic circuits, systems and methods using MOSFETs operated in a depletion-mode, including electrostatic discharge protection circuits (ESD), non-inverting latches and buffers, and one-to-three transistor static random access memory cells. These novel circuits supplement enhancement-mode MOSFET technology and are also intended to improve the reliability of the complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) integrated circuit (IC) products.
