Patent Primary Examiner
A low power sequential circuit (e.g., latch) uses a non-linear polar capacitor to retain charge with fewer transistors than traditional CMOS sequential circuits. In one example, a sequential circuit includes pass-gates and inverters, but without a feedback mechanism or memory element. In another example, a sequential uses load capacitors (e.g., capacitors coupled to a storage node and a reference supply). The load capacitors are implemented using ferroelectric material, paraelectric material, or linear dielectric. In one example, a sequential uses minority, majority, or threshold gates with ferroelectric or paraelectric capacitors. In one example, a sequential circuit uses minority, majority, or threshold gates configured as NAND gates.
