Experimental demonstration of complementary output switching logic approaching 10 Gb/s clock frequencies

We have proposed a new type of voltage-state logic called Complementary Output Switching Logic (COSL). The COSL circuits were optimized for 5-10 GHz operation using a Monte Carlo method. Here we present experimental test results of the basic COSL gates in the frequency range 1-10 GHz, and discuss bit error rate measurements at 2-5 Gb/s.
