The two-transistor circuit offers the additional benefit of acting as a level translator between two logic levels. This example shows a buffer- translation between ... 1 and 2 treat similar ...

Circuits sometimes need a gain-of-one buffer to lower output ... a Burr Brown BUF634 buffer IC would work, but a discrete transistor buffer may be more convenient and less expensive than the IC.

But there was a limit on how small you could make each transistor, since after it was ... began a push to build what they called "unitary circuits" and they also applied for a patent on the ...

Here we demonstrate that a significant reduction in the use of field-effect transistors can be achieved by constructing carbon nanotube-based integrated circuits based on a pass-transistor logic ...
