Source-coupled FET-logic-typ logic circuit

摘要

A source-coupled FET-logic-type logic circuit having level shift elements (LS1, LS2) connected to a high-potential power supply (VDD), field-effect transistors (Q1 - Q4, Q9 - Q12), load elements (LD1 - LD4) connecting the sources of the field-effect transistors (Q1 - Q4, Q9 - Q12), field-effect transistors (Q7, Q8, Q15, Q16) coupled between the high-potential power supply (VDD) and a low-potential power supply (VSS), constant current sources (CC2, CC3, CC5, CC6), and complementary output terminals (Q, Q). The circuit further has a field-effect transistors (Q5, Q6, Q13, Q14) controlled by complementary signals input to two input terminals (IN, IN). The circuit, which is a T flip-flop, further comprises a frequency switching circuit composed of field-effect transistors (Q17 - Q20) which are controlled by the signals supplied to two switching terminals (SW, SW). When the first switching terminal (SW) is at a high level, the output terminals (Q, Q) outputs a signal having the same frequency as the input signal. When the first switching terminal (SW) is at a low level, the output terminals (Q, Q) outputs a signal having half the frequency of the input signal.
