Abstract

Logic gates are classified into logic families: Architectural paradigms used to systematically design circuits. The most intuitive logic families are based on a driver–load architecture, and they can be built using BJT or MOSFET. These logic families are collectively known as ratioed logic. Ratioed logic gates have excellent area and are usually very fast. However, they all have fundamental problems with power dissipation and noise margins that limit their use.
