Example Sentences
- "The original design by Strollo et al. (1999) is semistatic, that is, the feedback keeper was implemented for only the high level of the output, Q, and the passgate forward path was implemented using n-MOS transistors only."
- "As shown in Figure 14.7, for the static realization, the equations for Z and Z', given in this paragraph and the preceding paragraph, respectively, are directly implemented in the NMOS and PMOS logic, respectively, after simplifying, whereas, the semistatic realization only requires the set and reset equations to be implemented in the NMOS and PMOS logic, respecifively, and hold0 and hold1 are implemented using a weak feedback inverter."
- "There are also versions of semistatic C-element built on devices with negative differential resistance (NDR)."
