Abstract:
A forward single-rail self-resetting reset circuit is utilized to reset a logic circuit to a selected state subsequent to each iteration of a logical operation on inputted data into the logic circuit. The reset circuit receives at least one of the data inputs and its complement signal so that the reset signal produced by the reset circuit is activated regardless of the voltage level of the data input signals.
