Appeal No. 1998-3024
Application No. 08/464,298
The disclosed invention relates to a CMOS distribution
system and method.
Claim 4 is illustrative of the claimed invention, and it
reads as follows:
4. A CMOS distribution system with means for
efficiently merging two synchronized data signals comprising:
a first clocked CMOS signal source having an output;
first clock means producing first clock pulses and
coupled to said first signal source to activate said first
signal source at the times of occurrence of said first clock
pulses;
a second clocked CMOS signal source and having an output
synchronized with the output of said first clocked CMOS signal
source;
second clock means producing second clock pulses
synchronized with and occurring at times complementary to said
first clock pulses;
means coupling said second clock pulses to said second
signal source to activate said second signal source at the
times of occurrence of said second clock pulses;
first and second transmission gates having inputs and
outputs with the inputs coupled to the outputs of said first
and second signal sources respectively;
first phase-shifting means coupled to said first clock
means to produce third clock pulses phase-shifted by at least
approximately 90°;
means to couple said third clock pulses to said first
transmission gate to activate said first gate at the times of
occurrence of said third clock pulses;
