Patent 7985990 was granted and assigned to Texas Instruments on July, 2011 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
A symmetrical circuit is disclosed (FIG. 4). The circuit includes a first transistor (220) having a first channel in a substantial shape of a parallelogram (FIG. 5A) with acute angles. The first transistor has a first current path (506) oriented in a first crystal direction (520). A first control gate (362) overlies the first channel. A second transistor (222) is connected to the first transistor and has a second channel in the substantial shape of a parallelogram with acute angles. The second transistor has a second current path (502) oriented parallel to the first current path. A second control gate (360) overlies the second channel.
